Wing's prospect gets expanded role. (VIDEO)

Danny Dekeyser is quickly making his mark this season with the Wings'. In just his second full season with the Detroit Red Wings, DeKeyser, 24, has been given extra responsibilities and an expanded role, that will let his offensive talents really show. He's the only defenseman besides Niklas Kronwall being used during power plays, and the coaching staff is encouraging DeKeyser to make plays. "We like him, so we try to play him lots," coach Mike Babcock said. "He's active, he moves the puck. We've got no one driving it from the blue line over anybody's shoulder or nothing like that, but we've just got to find a way to maximize - like the other night, we played Pittsburgh, the D were in on all four goals. We expect our D to be in the rush, in on the forecheck, in on everything." DeKeyser already has three assists this season. He finished 2013-14 with 23 points in 65 games. The Red Wings hope that his solid rookie campaign will carry over to this year. "He's got that in his game, he's smart, he moves the puck, he skates good, so we're going to try to take advantage of that," Babcock said. "Now he's played 84 games or something like that, so he's a baby." In Dekeyser we trust!
