COREAU ASSIGNED FOR CONDITIONING

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings have assigned goaltender Jared Coreau to the Grand Rapids Griffins for conditioning.

Coreau, 25, shows a 5-3-3 record to go along with a 3.27 goals against average, a 0.893 save percentage and two shutouts in 13 games with the Red Wings this season.

The 6-foot-6 netminder became the 158th Griffins alumnus to play in the NHL when he debuted at the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins on Dec. 3 and made 32 saves in a 5-3 loss. Coreau earned his first NHL win on Dec. 23 in a 4-3 shootout victory at Florida and logged his first NHL shutout behind 34 saves on Jan. 5 at Los Angeles.

In 17 games with the Griffins this season, the fourth-year pro sports an 11-6-0 record and one shutout. If he met the 1,020 minutes benchmark, Coreau’s 2.18 GAA and 0.924 save percentage would both tie for third in the AHL.

A native of Perth, Ontario, Coreau continues to climb up the Griffins’ goaltending record book with 56 wins (4th), 10 shutouts (T3rd), 94 games played (6th), 5437:37 minutes (5th), 2,549 saves (4th), and a career 2.39 GAA (7th). Coreau has appeared in four Calder Cup Playoff contests, showing a 2-2 record with a 2.21 GAA.

The Northern Michigan University product has also played parts of two seasons for the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye (2013-15), showing a 6-16-6 record and a 3.75 GAA.

The Central Division-leading Griffins welcome the Milwaukee Admirals to Van Andel Arena for a pair games on Friday and Saturday. Both games will start at 7 p.m.
