GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins on Tuesday assigned center Gregor MacLeod to the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye and released goaltender Kevin Poulin from his professional tryout.

Skating in his rookie season, MacLeod, 21, has contributed six points (3-3—6) and two penalty minutes in 22 games for the Griffins. A 6-foot, 175-pound center, he picked up his first pro point on an assist on Oct. 23 vs. Milwaukee and netted his first goal on Oct. 26 vs. Texas.

A native of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, MacLeod spent the previous three seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with the Charlottetown Islanders (2016-18), Quebec Remparts (2017-18) and Drummondville Voltigeurs (2018-19), tallying 160 points (60-100—160), a plus-63 rating and 113 PIM in 169 games. During the 2018-19 campaign in Drummondville, he was teammates with Joe Veleno and posted career highs in points (84), goals (35), assists (49) and games (60).

Signed to a professional tryout on Dec. 25, Poulin, 29, compiled a 0-1-2 record, a 2.22 goals against average and a 0.915 save percentage in three games for the Griffins while making his first AHL appearance since the 2015-16 campaign.
