The Grand Rapids Griffins are two victories from a Calder Cup championship.
Several Detroit Red Wings prospects have played key roles as the Griffins take a 2-0 series lead on the road in the AHL final against the Syracuse Crunch. Tomas Nosek contributed a goal and an assist Saturday in a 6-5 double-overtime victory in Grand Rapids, a night after scoring twice in Game 1’s victory.
Martin Frk had a goal and two assists in Game 2, and Tyler Bertuzzi also scored Saturday, after setting up two goals Friday.
Rookie Evgeny Svechnikov, the Wings’ first-round pick from 2015, scored his fifth goal of the playoffs.
