Of prospect-related note from Detroit Hockey Now’s Kevin Allen:
The Grand Rapids Griffins, the loser in five of their last six games, don’t play again until Wednesday when they are home against Lehigh Valley. Defenseman Antti Tuomisto continues to perform well for the Griffins. He leads all defenseman with 20 points in 43 games. Even with the team struggling, the 6-foot-5 Finn also plus-6 over the past 14 games. He has only had two minus games in his past 14.
Tuomisto’s big and heavy at 6’5″ and 205 pounds, and at 24 years of age, I’m curious as to whether the Wings will give him a shot to make the team at training camp next season as he’s a right-shooting D with size and some snarl.
