Dmytro Timashov showed the physical side of his game Saturday in his Detroit Red Wings debut by registering five hits.

He’ll have potentially 15 more games this season to make an impression on the Red Wings.

Coach Jeff Blashill said Timashov has “potential bottom-six skill.”

“Somebody that can play in those (third and fourth) lines, not have to play top-six minutes but can provide some more skill, can play hard, can be good defensively, can bring a physical element and just help our depth,” Blashill said.
