Inks one-year deal Sprong signed a one-year, $975,000 contract with Vancouver on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Sprong generated 18 goals and 43 points in 76 regular-season outings for Detroit in 2023-24. As a member of the Canucks in a bottom-six role, he should register similar numbers in the upcoming campaign.

Helper overshadowed by turnover Sprong earned an assist in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.

Impact Sprong earned a secondary assist in the second period, but it was his careless center-ice pass that resulted in a Jeff Carter interception and shorthanded tally to put the Penguins up 5-3 early in the third frame. Pittsburgh drafted Sprong in the second round (No. 46 overall) in 2015, but Detroit marks his sixth different NHL franchise. He's cashing out the balance of a one-year deal worth $2 million, and the Wings could end letting him walk as an unrestricted free agent this summer. There's plenty to like about Sprong, a bottom-six contributor, putting up 17 goals and 24 assists through 73 games, but the Wings are so desperately fighting to get into the playoffs and can ill-afford costly turnovers like the one Sprong had Thursday.

Impact Sprong fired a snapshot from a sharp angle, with the puck traveling between Tyson Jost's legs and landing top shelf for Detroit's third goal of the contest. We wouldn't put too much stock in Sprong's status as a fourth-line contributor because he is one of five Red Wings with 40 points or more this season. The 27-year-old is precisely at that level based on 17 goals and 23 assists through 66 games. But let's not forget that he has also been a factor on the power play, adding three goals and nine assists to the season ledger.

Does damage against former team Sprong supplied an even-strength goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Sprong enjoyed a 46-point breakout campaign with Seattle last year, but with a running total consisting of 15 goals and 20 assists, the bottom-six contributor has a chance to top that mark in his debut season with the Wings. Staying healthy will be a key determining factor on whether Sprong can set the bar even higher offensively; so far, so good, as he's yet to miss a game in the 2023-24 campaign.
