Can Trey Augustine Follow Osgood’s Legacy with Red Wings?
The Detroit Red Wings have high expectations for goalie prospect Trey Augustine, who played for Michigan State and won the Mike Richter Award as top Division I goaltender. Augustine led the Big Ten in wins and save percentage during his junior season. The article compares him to Chris Osgood, who played 14 of his 18 NHL seasons with the Red Wings and won a career-high 39 games in 1995-96. Osgood posted a 74-49 playoff record with 15 shutouts and a .916 save percentage. He made crucial saves in the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals, including one that sealed the championship. The article questions whether Augustine can match Osgood's level of performance at the NHL level.
