GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Saturday assigned center Christoffer Ehn to the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Ehn, 22, has split his first season in North America between Grand Rapids and Detroit. In 44 contests with the Red Wings, the 6-foot-2, 193-pound center shows seven points (2-5—7) and four penalty minutes while averaging 9:48 of ice time. Ehn became the 173rd Griffins alumnus to play in the NHL when he returned to Detroit’s lineup on Nov. 6 at Vancouver and he scored his first NHL goal on Dec. 23 at Toronto.

Selected in the fourth round, 106th overall, of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft by the Red Wings, Ehn has notched six points (1-5—6), a plus-five rating and six PIM in 13 appearances with the Griffins.

A native of Skara, Sweden, Ehn skated in 147 games with Frolunda in the Swedish Hockey League from 2013-18 and recorded 32 points (11-21—32). He produced career highs in goals (7), assists (10) and points (17) in 2017-18. Ehn helped Frolunda win back-to-back Champions League Tournament crowns in 2017 and 2016 and an SHL title in 2016.
