2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sandin Pellikka looks set to be ready for North American hockey in 2025-26, but it would be a long shot to expect him to jump straight into the Red Wings' lineup. He put up 29 points in 46 regular-season games with Skelleftea AIK of the SHL and added 10 points in seven contests for Sweden at the World Junior Championship. He's still just 20 years old, and as impressive as his numbers are, he'll still need some more development time, whether that's in the AHL with Grand Rapids or in his native Sweden on loan again.

Prospect
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Red Wings in May of 2024.
Posts pair of helpers
Sandin-Pellikka registered two assists and went plus-3 in Monday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.
ANALYSIS
Sandin-Pellikka is heating up with four helpers over his last three games. The 20-year-old defenseman's ice time has dropped in that span, as he's topped 15 minutes just once over those contests after going 10 straight games with at least 16 minutes. Perhaps less is more for the rookie, at least for now, as the Red Wings can get higher quality out of him in less ice time. He's at 10 points, 31 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 30 appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to make Opening Night team
Sandin Pellikka is not expected to be on the Red Wings' Opening Night roster, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Sandin Pellikka is an offensively gifted blueliner, but he still needs to work on his play in his own zone. The 20-year-old is expected to play with AHL Grand Rapids this year after playing on loan with Skelleftea AIK of the SHL in 2024-25, where he had 29 points in 46 games in his age-19 campaign. If he starts well at Grand Rapids, he should be able to push some of the third-pairing veterans like Erik Gustafsson, Justin Holl or Travis Hamonic for a roster spot later in 2025-26.
