Carter Bear - NHL News & Rumors

Posts three points for Griffins Bear scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Grand Rapids' 5-1 win over Chicago on Sunday.

Impact An upper-body injury kept Bear out of action at the start of the season, but he's taken little time to adjust to the AHL. The 19-year-old is at three goals, six assists and 21 shots on net over nine contests to begin his rookie year in Grand Rapids. He's an early success story for the rule change that allows first-round picks to play in the AHL at age 19. Bear was selected 13th overall in 2025, and if he keeps thriving with the Griffins this year, it may not be long before he's wearing the winged wheel in Detroit.

Impact On Wednesday, Head coach Todd McLellan mentioned that Bear was day-to-day, and he shared the young winger's expected timeline of absence Thursday.The 19-year-old winger suited up for Monday's preseason game before he sat out Tuesday's matchup. Regardless of when he returns from his current upper-body issue, the 13th overall selection from the 2025 NHL Entry Draft has bounds of potential and could see his first stint of NHL later in the 2026-27 campaign if Detroit's forward core experiences a couple of injuries.

It's unclear exactly when the 19-year-old sustained his injury, but McLellan said that Bear could be forced to miss around a week. If that's the case, the 2025 first-round pick would miss the Red Wings' final two preseason games. However, even if he was healthy, Bear wasn't expected to begin the 2026-27 campaign on Detroit's Opening Night roster.
