Kasper was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.

Kasper's promotion was made under emergency conditions, which would indicate that there is a forward dealing with an injury that could sideline him against the Predators on Saturday. The 20-year-old center hasn't played in an NHL game since making his debut for the Wings back in 2022-23. While it's a small sample size, the Austrian has logged a goal and an assist through two minor-league games with the Griffins, likely earning his promotion.
