ACE(S) IN THE HOLE

Apr 19, 2010

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Monday recalled goaltender Thomas McCollum and defenseman Logan Pyett from the Grand Rapids Griffins.

McCollum, 20, was the first-round pick of the Red Wings in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. The youngest goalie to ever play for the Griffins, he posted a 10-16-2 record with a 3.48 GAA and a 0.881 save percentage in 32 games during his rookie season. In addition, he spent four games with the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye, earning a 2-1-0 record with a 4.48 GAA and a 0.864 save percentage.

Pyett, 21, was the lone Griffin to appear in all 80 games this season, making him one of just 18 players in franchise history to play in every regular season game during a campaign. While his 30 points (9-21—30) marked career highs in each scoring category, he also led Grand Rapids’ defensemen in goals and ranked third among team blueliners in points.

Both McCollum and Pyett will serve as “black aces” during their time with the Red Wings, who will host Phoenix on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in Game 4 of their Western Conference Quarterfinal series.
