GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The American Hockey League on Monday announced that Grand Rapids Griffins right wing Tomas Jurco has been selected as the CCM/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Nov. 22.

After being assigned by the Detroit Red Wings last Tuesday for conditioning, Jurco posted a league-best seven points for the week (3-4—7) and led the Griffins to three consecutive victories over Western Conference powers, tallying assists on all three game-winning goals.

In his first AHL appearance of the season on Wednesday, Jurco helped set up the winning goal with 9:49 remaining as Grand Rapids defeated Rockford, 3-2, to end the IceHogs’ 10-game point streak. On Friday, Jurco tied a franchise record with three power play goals for his third career hat trick, part of a four-point effort that led the Griffins over San Diego, 7-4. And on Saturday, Jurco assisted on both Grand Rapids goals in a 2-1 win at Chicago, the Griffins’ third straight win after they had been 2-8-0-1 on the season entering the week.

Jurco, 22, had one assist in four NHL games with Detroit this season before joining the Griffins. A member of Grand Rapids’ Calder Cup championship team as a rookie in 2012-13, Jurco has gone on to play 103 games with the Red Wings, totaling 11 goals and 23 assists for 34 points. Jurco, a native of Kosice, Slovakia, was a second-round draft choice by Detroit (35th overall) in 2011 and has registered 30 goals and 37 assists for 67 points in 109 AHL games with Grand Rapids.

In recognition of his achievement, Jurco will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Griffins home game.

The Griffins will look to extend their winning streak to four and earn their fourth consecutive “Winning Wednesday” home victory when they host the Iowa Wild this Wednesday at 7 p.m.
