NESTRASIL TO GRAND RAPIDS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday reassigned right wing Andrej Nestrasil to the Grand Rapids Griffins from the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye.

A native of Prague, Czech Republic, Nestrasil has skated in three games with the Griffins this season, showing a plus-one rating and no points. The second-year pro boasts an ECHL-best 11-game active point streak, which ranks as the fourth-longest in the circuit this season. He now owns a share of the team scoring lead after racking up 18 points (4-14—18) in 11 games since Nov. 30, including a career-high five-point night (2-3—5) in Toledo’s 9-4 win over Fort Wayne on Monday.

Nestrasil joins the Griffins as the team prepares for three games in three nights this weekend. The Griffins will wrap up their season-high seven-game homestand on Friday versus Oklahoma City at 7 p.m., before traveling for a pair of divisional road games against Chicago on Saturday at 8 p.m. EST and Sunday against Milwaukee at 4 p.m. EST. Tickets for the team’s game against the Barons are available at griffinshockey.com.
