GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Friday recalled center Austin Czarnik from the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Czarnik has appeared in 12 games with Detroit this season, totaling two goals, one assist and a plus-two rating. Through 154 NHL games, Czarnik has 48 points (17-31—48), 22 penalty minutes and a minus-six rating.
