## Resource

Mason Appleton’s first season with the Detroit Red Wings was a mixed bag—just 14 points in 65 games, a career-low scoring output, and a negative plus-minus for the first time in five years. Hired to shore up the penalty kill, he helped improve it but also saw himself scratched occasionally. With a pricey contract looming and younger players like Carter Mazur on the rise, Appleton’s future with the Wings is uncertain. He’ll need to step up significantly next season to prove he’s still a valuable piece—if not, his time in Detroit may be winding down.
