DETROIT RETURNS GLENDENING

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Sunday assigned center Luke Glendening to the Grand Rapids Griffins.

A native of East Grand Rapids, Glendening, 24, made his debut with the Wings on Oct. 12 versus Philadelphia, when he became the 133rd Griffins alumnus to play in the NHL. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound forward has appeared in nine games with the Wings, posting nine shots on goal and four penalty minutes. Glendening recorded a season-high 12:54 of ice time in Detroit’s 4-3 shootout loss to the New York Islanders last night. In his second professional season, Glendening has also skated in nine games with the Griffins, producing six points (3-3—6) and 14 penalty minutes.

The Griffins (10-4-1-1) will host the Milwaukee Admirals at Van Andel Arena on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
