Red Wings Add Physicality with Kolesar | Detroit Red Wings News

Jul 2, 2026 · 2 min

Detroit Red Wings just beefed up their roster with Keegan Kolesar, a bruising 218-pound enforcer who racked up 270 hits last season and was seventh in NHL hits. Acquired from Vegas for two draft picks, Kolesar brings playoff grit—he helped Vegas win the 2023 Cup with 5 points, 79 hits, and 50 penalty minutes. With two more years and $2.5M left on his deal, he’s a perfect fit for Yzerman’s plan to build a tougher, more physical Red Wings lineup alongside Arvidsson, Bryson, and Tarasov.
