RILEY BARBER REASSIGNED

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday reassigned right wing Riley Barber to the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Barber joined Detroit’s active roster for the fourth time this season on April 23 and logged a minus-one rating in 9:02 of ice time during the Red Wings’ 7-2 defeat against Pittsburgh later that day. The 27-year-old competed with Detroit for the first time in his career and made his NHL season debut on Dec. 18, registering two shots and a plus-one rating. Barber has appeared in four outings for the Red Wings this season and has a minus-two rating and two penalty minutes. A former sixth-round draft choice of the Washington Capitals in 2012, the forward has skated in 16 NHL games with nine of them coming with Montreal during the 2019-20 campaign. With the Griffins, Barber is currently on a career-high 15-game point streak (14-7—21), which is the third-longest streak in franchise history and the longest streak in the AHL this season.
