GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Friday recalled forward Joakim Andersson from the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Since his Feb. 11 assignment, Andersson has played in 19 games for the Griffins and accumulated five points (2-3—5), a plus-two rating and two penalty minutes. He notched a goal and an assist for his first multi-point game of the season during Grand Rapids’ 6-1 win at Rochester on April 1.
Detroit’s second choice (88th overall) in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, Andersson has played in 28 games with the Red Wings this season and tallied three points (1-2—3), six PIM and a plus-one rating.

Between 2008-16, the Munkedal, Sweden, native registered 106 points (41-65—106) and 123 PIM in 208 regular season games for the Griffins. Andersson was a member of the Griffins’ 2013 Calder Cup Championship team, totaling eight points (3-5—8) in 10 playoff games.
The playoff-bound Griffins have six games remaining in the regular season and will host the Chicago Wolves tonight at 7 p.m.
