Detroit Recalls Ehn

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday recalled forward Christoffer Ehn from the Grand Rapids Griffins.

The 23-year-old has skated in 14 games with the Red Wings this season, averaging 11:53 of ice time and tallying two penalty minutes. Selected in the fourth round, 106th overall, of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft by Detroit, Ehn has accounted for nine points (3-6—9) and eight PIM in 74 career games for the Red Wings since 2018-19. He became the 173rd Griffins alumnus to play in the NHL when he returned to Detroit’s lineup on Nov. 6, 2018 vs. Vancouver.

The 6-foot-2, 193-pound forward appeared in 17 games with the Griffins last season – his first in North America – and recorded seven points (2-5—7), a plus-four rating and eight PIM. In five Calder Cup Playoff contests, he finished with two points (0-2—2), a plus-three rating and two PIM.
