BORKOWSKI ASSIGNED TO WALLEYE

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins on Tuesday assigned center Mike Borkowski to the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye.

Borkowski has not seen action in any of Grand Rapids’ four games this season.

Borkowski skated in 51 games with the Griffins in 2016-17, his first full professional season, and contributed five points (3-2—5), a plus-one rating and two penalty minutes. The 25-year-old appeared in one postseason contest and helped the Griffins win the Calder Cup. Borkowski also played in six games with the Walleye, totaling nine points (3-6—9) and a plus-10 rating.

The 6-foot, 192-pound center made his pro debut with the AHL’s Binghamton Senators near the end of the 2015-16 campaign after finishing a four-year career at Colgate University (ECAC). In 12 games with the Senators, Borkowski posted three points (2-1—3) and logged his first pro goal in his debut on March 13.

The Griffins will conclude their three-game road trip on Friday at Rockford before returning to Van Andel Arena on Saturday when they will host the Hershey Bears for the first time since the 2005-06 season.
