DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings today agreed to terms with right wing Teemu Pulkkinen on a one-year contract. In accordance with club policy, additional details will not be disclosed.

Pulkkinen split his second full season in North America between the Red Wings and the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.
