SETH BARTON REASSIGNED TO GRAND RAPIDS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Monday reassigned defenseman Seth Barton to the Grand Rapids Griffins from the Toledo Walleye (ECHL).

After being sidelined in the opening 18 games of the campaign due to an injury, Barton made his season debut on Dec. 5 with Toledo. The 22-year-old then went on to compete in five games with the Griffins from Dec. 10-Jan. 1, registering his first goal as a pro on Dec. 31 in a 5-4 victory against Milwaukee. However, the injury bug returned for Barton, and he competed in his first game in nearly three months on March 17 with Toledo against Wichita. With the Walleye this season, Barton has one assist and two penalty minutes in five games. After the conclusion of his collegiate season, the first-year pro made his professional debut with Grand Rapids on May 11, 2021, against Cleveland. Barton recorded his first pro point just three days later in Cleveland. During his time at UMass-Lowell from 2018-2021, the Kelowna, British Columbia, native amassed 36 points (7-29—36) and 49 penalty minutes in 83 contests. Barton was Detroit’s sixth pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and was selected 81st overall.
