5 – Among Griffins defensemen, Lashoff tied for fifth in points and placed fifth in assists.

100 – Lashoff tallied an assist in a 6-3 home win vs. Texas on Dec. 1 to collect his 100th career point as a professional.

127 – After playing four games this season, Lashoff has played in 127 career NHL games with the Red Wings and tallied 14 points (2-12—14). With the exception of 2015-16, Lashoff, who was originally signed by Detroit as an undrafted free agent in September 2008, has appeared in at least one NHL game every year since 2012-13.

In his ninth full professional season, defenseman and alternate captain Brian Lashoff posted 14 points (1-13—14) in 53 games with the Griffins and showed one assist in four outings with Detroit.


0.632
The Griffins posted a 29-15-6-3 record (0.632) in games Lashoff was in the lineup compared to 9-12-1-1 (0.435) when he was not.

1 – When Lashoff assisted on Frans Nielsen’s goal at 17:16 of the first period in a 3-2 win against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on March 19, it marked his first NHL point since picking up a helper on Nov. 22, 2014 at Toronto.

2 – Lashoff places second in Griffins history in both regular season (453) and postseason games played (75). In the regular season, he trails only all-time great Travis Richard’s 655, and in the playoffs, fellow two-time Calder Cup champion Nathan Paetsch is first with 78 GP.

3 – Skating in his 445th AHL contest on March 26 at Iowa, Lashoff registered a career-high three points behind a goal and two assists in a 5-2 victory.
