2025-26 Player in Review: Eduards Tralmaks
Forward Eduards Tralmaks skated in his first season with the Griffins, scoring a goal in his debut on Oct. 10 at Texas. The fifth-year pro totaled 42 points (26-16—42), 14 penalty minutes and a plus-29 rating in 64 regular-season games, adding four goals in eight playoff outings. Tralmaks ranked among the team’s regular-season leaders in points (T4th), goals (2nd), plus-minus (3rd), power-play goals (5, T3rd) and game-winners (4, 4th), before tying for second in goals during the postseason. The 29-year-old also placed among the AHL leaders in goals (T19th) and plus-minus rating (8th).
Tralmaks competed in the 2026 Winter Olympics with Team Latvia and notched a team-best four points (3-1—4) and three goals in four games. He also tied for eighth in goals among all skaters at the tournament. At least one Griffin has been loaned to his country’s national team in six of the last seven Olympics. Of those seven players, Tralmaks was by far the most productive on the world stage, equaling the goal total of the other six combined. Tralmaks finished his 2025-26 campaign at the World Championship and registered six points (2-4—6) in three games, leading Latvia to a sixth-place finish.
