Detroit Hockey Now’s Kevin Allen reports that the Red Wings’ various call-ups from Grand Rapids have yielded success in Detroit…and some difficulties for their AHL affiliate:
The Griffins are coming out of their much-needed AHL All-Star tonight when they play a road game against the Milwaukee Admirals.
Grand Rapids leads the Central Division by three points over Texas (Dallas Stars) and five over the Milwaukee (Nashville Predators). But injuries, call-ups and illnesses have caused some struggles of late. They didn’t score a single goal in back-to-back losses to Colorado. It was the first time the Griffins were shutout in back-to-back game since 2016.
It helps the Griffins that the Red Wings sent Shine back to Grand Rapids, and that Carter Mazur is starting to get his timing back after missing most of this season with the injury. Injured Amadeus Lombardi could be back in another week.
