After a week to rest and refresh, Detroit Red Wings prospects are ready for their next challenge as they compete for the Calder Cup.
The Grand Rapids Griffins begin their best-of-seven, second-round series today at the Chicago Wolves. Game 2 is Friday before the series switches to Grand Rapids for Saturday’s Game 3 and Monday’s Game 4. The Griffins advanced April 26 when they completed a three-game sweep of Milwaukee.
One of the bright stories from Round 1 is forward Evgeny Svechnikov, who had a goal in the first game, an assist in the second, and two assists, including on the series-winning goal, in Game 3.
