Taro Hirose: Headed to Germany

Hirose agreed to terms on a one-year deal with EHC Munchen of the DEL on Friday.

Hirose spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign in the minors with AHL Grand Rapids, registering nine goals and 27 helpers in 54 regular-season contests. The Michigan State product has appeared in 60 NHL contests for Detroit, notching four goals and 16 assists. The move overseas could mark the end of the 28-year-old's NHL career.
