Coach Nelson and company have put together a pretty impressive first half, and in the process showcased the organizational depth that the Griffins and parent Wings enjoy. There are not many teams that could lose a front line player like Anthony Mantha, a starting goalie like Jared Coreau and a workhorse defenseman in Nick Jensen for large chunks of time and not struggle. The Griffins have not only shrugged it off, but have thrived, going into the halfway point of the AHL schedule leading the Western Conference, and sitting in second place in the league.
