This will be Filppula’s second tour of duty with the Red Wings, as he laced up the skates for Detroit from 2006 to 2013 when he left to sign a free agent deal with Steve Yzerman’s Tampa Bay Lightning. He has also played for the Philadelphia Flyers and spent last season with the New York Islanders.
He was a member of the Stanley Cup champion winning team in 2008.
