RED WINGS ASSIGN CONNER
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Monday assigned right wing Chris Conner to the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Conner, 28, was the Griffins’ leading scorer when he was originally recalled to Detroit on Dec. 1, with 23 points (7-16—23) in 20 games. He was assigned to Grand Rapids on Jan. 2 but was recalled last Wednesday before seeing any game action. The Livonia, Mich., native has skated in seven games with the Red Wings this season, registering one goal, two assists and a plus-two rating.
Conner rejoins a red-hot Griffins team that carries a three-game winning streak and a six-game point streak (3-0-3-0), both season-bests. They’ll look to continue those streaks, as well as their six-game home point streak, this week by hosting the Houston Aeros on Wednesday and the Texas Stars on Friday. Both games are set to start at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at griffinshockey.com.
