Red Wings In Case You Missed It

Detroit’s Lucas Raymond is snubbed in ranking of NHL’s top forwards under-25.

You shouldn’t forget about draft pick Dylan James because the Red Wings haven’t forgotten him.

It’s possible for Axel Sandin Pellikka to win a spot on Detroit’s roster with strong preseason play. But it’s more likely he will start the season in Grand Rapids.

Red Wings Extra

The Grand Rapids Griffins begin a 72-game schedule Friday, Oct. 10 when they travel to the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park to face the Texas Stars (8 p.m. EDT.) Grand Rapids return to Van Andel Arena for Opening Night on Friday, Oct. 17. The Manitoba Moose will be the opponent on that night.

Fun Fact:

The Grand Rapids Griffins garnered 1,141 attributed subscribers to AHLTV on FloHockey.

This was the second most in the AHL.#gogrg #lgrw @TheAHL @FloHockey
