The Grand Rapids Press’s Peter J. Wallner reports that the Grand Rapids Griffins’ All-Star representatives did quite well during the AHL’s All-Star game:
Matt Puempel and Matt Lorito combined to score four of the [Central] division’s seven goals in three 10-minute pool play games, each playing three aside.
Puempel scored single goals against the Central and Pacific teams, while Lorito scored twice on three shots against the North and also chipped in an assist against Pacific.
I’d like to see Puempel get a look after we clear out some dead weight at the trade deadline. He could be a cheap 4th line options but with better puck skills than what we trot out now.
