DETROIT ASSIGNS WEISS TO GRAND RAPIDS FOR CONDITIONING
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday assigned center Stephen Weiss to the Grand Rapids Griffins for conditioning.
Florida’s first choice (4th overall) in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, Weiss appeared in 26 games with the Red Wings during the 2013-14 season and notched four points (2-2—4) and 12 penalty minutes. The 13-year pro did not play after Dec. 10 following hernia surgery and has appeared in only one game in with the Wings this season.
Since 2001-02, the 31-year-old Weiss has amassed 398 points (147-251—398) in 681 NHL games between the Panthers and Wings. A native of Toronto, Ontario, Weiss is Florida’s all-time leader in games played (654) and assists (249).
Weiss’ last AHL stint was during the 2004-05 season, when he split his campaign between the San Antonio Rampage and the Chicago Wolves. In 90 career AHL games, Weiss has recorded 63 points (28-35—63) and 64 PIM. Prior to turning pro, he tallied 223 points (89-134-223) in 172 games with the OHL’s Plymouth Whalers.
Weiss is expected to make his Griffins debut on Wednesday when Grand Rapids hosts the Rockford IceHogs at 7 p.m. He will tie for the second-highest NHL draft pick to ever play for the Griffins, matching Darrin Shannon (#4 by Pittsburgh in 1988) behind only Jason Spezza (#2 by Ottawa in 2001).
