The Grand Rapids Griffins took on the Texas Stars last night down south in their first contest of the season. The Detroit Red Wings rookie phenom Filip Zadina was a minus-two on the night and failed to record a shot on goal. The Griffins lost the game 3-1.
The lone Griffins goal was scored by captain Mathew Ford during a 5 on 3 power play opportunity. Ford tipped a Matt Puempel shot home to prevent the Griffins from posting a goose egg. Chris Terry also recorded an assist on the goal.
Filip Zadina is getting the opportunities to succeed with the Griffins.
