It has been a great start to the season for the Detroit Red Wings. Through their first 14 games, they have a record of 9-5-0, which is good for 18 points and second place in the Atlantic Division.
However, it's not just the Red Wings who are off to a hot start. Their AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, are off to the best start in the AHL. They are undefeated through eight games and sit atop the Central Division standings.
A significant reason for the Griffins' hot start has been the play of goaltender Sebastian Cossa.
