Keith Petruzzelli, the Red Wings' third-round pick, 88th overall, in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, was not thrilled with allowing Team Sweden to score two late goals to rally past Team USA Blue Saturday night.

PLYMOUTH, MICH. - Good goaltenders know that one thing you have to have to succeed is a short memory.

So Petruzzelli showed up at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, Mich., Sunday, and blanked Team Finland for two periods, allowing just one goal at 15:55 of the third in a 4-1 victory.

"Obviously last night didn't go the way I wanted to," Petruzzelli said. "I just kind of focused on putting that behind me and getting ready for today's game. I was really happy with the way it went."

Detroit's goaltending development coach, Brian Mahoney-Wilson, was on hand to witness Petruzelli's bounce-back performance.

"That's huge," Mahoney-Wilson said. "Anytime you see a goalie at any level do that, that's a huge mental barrier to overcome. It's nice to see him do that, especially at a camp with so many eyes on you, from USA Hockey's perspective and obviously with Detroit in their backyard. That's nice to see."

Petruzzelli said being able to start and play the entire game helped.

"It's just finding that rhythm," Petruzzelli said. "It's a lot easier to start the game, you're able to get into it early, you're able to get into the flow of the game a lot easier."

Team Finland tested Petruzzelli frequently, but especially in the second period when the Finns had a 2-on-1.

"The guy came down the wall and you were ready for the shot but you've got to be aware of the pass,, too, and he was able to fire it across," Petruzzelli said. "Just slide over and be big and be square and hope the puck hits you.

"That was a good save. I liked the glove save, too, in the second on that one-timer. It was a good game for sure."

Petruzzelli made the nice glove save on Jusso Valimaki at 15:11 of the second.

"Going forward, it's going to give him confidence, especially being on a college roster where there's a little pressure being a freshman and having to compete for a job," Mahoney-Wilson said. "There's another goalie that played well there this year so nothing's handed to him. He's going to have to perform."

Last season Andrew Shortridge played in 25 games for the Quinnipiac Bobcats, going 13-7-0 with a .920 save percentage and 2.09 goals-against average.

Although players want to learn from their mistakes, Petruzzelli knows he can't dwell on any of his.

"You got to have that next-shot mentality and even after the one went in tonight, it's 3-1, you got to get back in the mindset to make the next save," Petruzzelli said. "You got to make sure you focus on that."

Mahoney-Wilson said everyone in the Wings' front office was delighted that they were able to get Petruzzelli in the draft.

He believes the tall goalie will do well at Quinnipiac.

"You're going to see him go from here to Quinnipiac and work under a great goalie coach, Jared Waimon," Mahoney-Wilson said. "(Waimon) could easily be in the professional ranks. He has a great company that he owns so he decided to do that. But with Keith, I think he's going to grow year after year, he's going to get bigger and stronger. That's what a lot of kids learn, learning how to lift weights, going through a small season comparatively with how many games they have, 36 games in a season. They learn how to eat, their work ethic obviously improves, he's going to get better day after day at that level."

Mahoney-Wilson said he will get to see Petruzzelli during the season, especially when Quinnipiac faces RPI, where Chase Perry plays. Perry was the Wings' fifth-round pick, 136th overall, in the 2014 draft.

"Seeing that he's in the same league as Chase Perry in the ECAC, Chase Perry's at RPI, I'll see them a couple times, when they're playing at RPI and when they're at Quinnipiac as well. It's probably at least four or five times this coming year. I'll get to see a bunch on video as well."

KOTKANSALO GETS MORE TIME: Team Finland has eight defensemen who are rotating so Kasper Kotkansalo, the Wings' third-round pick,, 71st overall, in this past draft, didn't think he was going to get much ice time.

That all went out the window when Henri Jokiharju, the Chicago Blackhawks' first round-pick, 29th overall, got hurt in the first period of the game against Team USA Blue.

"I wasn't expecting at all to play, me and Urho Vaakaneinen, we won't play today because we rotate defensemen right now," Kotkansalo said. "Then our teammate got hurt. I was a little bit freaking out but I have to go and play now. Then I had a chance to warm up during the intermission so I was fine."

Kotkansalo not only played but recorded an assist on Finland's only goal in the 4-1 loss.

"I like to consider myself as a two-way defenseman," Kotkansalo said. "Yesterday I'm not on the power play because our top defensemen are such good defensemen offensively. I've joined the rush pretty much and I've gotten fortunate with the points. For sure I think I'm still a two-way defenseman."

In 47 games with the USHL's Sioux Falls Stampede, Kotkansalo had one goal and 11 assists.

With Finland's Under-20 team, Kotkansalo had two goals and four assists in 13 games.

Kotkansalo's main focus is on becoming a much more difficult player to play against, but that's not why he's stood out in the exhibition games of the summer showcase.

It's the new red gloves that he got from the Red Wings during development camp that catch your eye.

"Everyone has their own team's gloves," Kotkansalo said. "My Sioux Falls Stampede gloves are so torn up so I couldn't use them so I used the Red Wings ones now. I won't go to Boston until September so I'll get new gloves."

ANOTHER WING IN THE CROWD: He wasn't playing but Vili Saarijarvi was at USA Hockey Arena to watch Team Finland play Team USA Blue.

Saarijarvi, the Wings' third-round pick, 73rd overall, in the 2015 draft, went home to Finland for a month to rest and catch up with family and friends.

But then he returned to the United States and has been training with a group that includes Danny DeKeyser and Jimmy Howard.

Saarijarvi, 20, had 11 goals and 20 assists in 34 regular-season games with the OHL's Mississauga Steelheads and five goals and 10 assists in 20 playoff games.

For Finland's Under-20 team, Saarijarvi had three goals and four assists in 13 games.

Saarijarvi was happy the Wings drafted another Finn in Kotkansalo.

"I met him here in Plymouth last year but I really got a chance to know him well at prospect camp," Kotkansalo said. "So we're good friends now."

Saarijarvi will play for the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins this coming season.

LINDSTROM HOLDING HIS OWN: Gustav Lindstrom is a realist.

Detroit's second-round pick from this year's draft, 38th overall, completely understands his situation.

As much as he may desire to be wearing a Detroit uniform, the 18-year-old knows he has a lot to learn before he steps on the ice as a Red Wing.

Heading into Sunday's game against Team USA White, Lindstrom was concerned with how he was adjusting to the smaller ice surface.

He said the game was faster on the smaller North American surface and he needed to react more quickly and be more aware of the play with his back turned while he was retrieving the puck.

"Yeah, a little bit I think," said Lindstrom when asked if he felt more comfortable on the smaller surface after Team Sweden was defeated by Team USA White 4-3 on Sunday. "Like every preseason, it's a little up and down all the time, but hopefully it will get better with every game."

Lindstrom had an assist and was a minus-1 in Sweden's loss. He believes in the two games he's played over the weekend, his game has just been all right.

"It's been OK, but sometimes I feel that I've missed a few easy passes," Lindstrom said. "I hope to be better soon. I think I'll get better during the week."

Tomas Monten, Sweden's coach likes what he has seen from Lindstrom so far.

"I think it's good. I know it's his first time ever playing on the smaller ice. I know he went to the Red Wings camp of course. He played with us in February and was really good," Monten said. "He showed in February that he wants to make a run for this. I think he got some power play time. I think he was better last night than today but I think he looks pretty good."
