Red Wings' confidence in Xavier Ouellet grows with each call-up...

Xavier Ouellet was born in France, began playing hockey in Germany when he was 5 and moved to Canada at age 10. That's where his youth career began to blossom and he became a big fan of a certain Detroit Red Wings defenseman. "Growing up I was a huge fan of Lidstrom, so the Red Wings have been a little somewhere in me since I was a little kid," Ouellet said.
