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

Czarnik appeared in four games with Detroit from Nov. 5-Nov. 18, totaling one goal and a plus-one rating. The 29-year-old ranks third on the Griffins roster with 14 points (6-8—14) in 12 outings this season, with his four power-play goals tied for 12th in the AHL. Czarnik has totaled a least one point in nine of the 12 games and started the campaign with five points (3-2—5) in the first two contests. Czarnik notched his fourth AHL hat trick on Saturday, Oct. 15, which marked the earliest recorded by a Griffin to start a season, and it tied for the fastest hat trick to start a Griffin’s career (Tim Skarperud 3/22/02 at MIL). The Washington Township, Mich., native was named the Howies Hockey Tape/AHL Player of the Week on Oct. 17 and became the first Griffins forward to win the award since Matt Lorito on Nov. 20, 2016.
