In what was the first game of their 2026 Prospects Tournament, the Detroit Red Wings managed to outlast the Dallas Stars in an eight-round shootout, picking up a 4-3 win.

The matchup, held at BELFOR Training Center inside of Little Caesars Arena, featured a standout performance from 2025 first round (13th overall pick) Carter Bear, who led the way with a whopping 10 shots on goal.

Bear, who also picked up an assist, was one of multiple Red Wings forwards stopped by Stars goaltender Arno Tiefensee in the lengthy shootout after neither club scored in overtime.

The only player to find the back of the net in the shootout was forward Kienan Draper, Detroit's seventh round (187th overall) pick in the 2020 NHL Draft and the son of four-time Stanley Cup winner Kris Draper.
