GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday assigned right wing Jan Mursak to the Grand Rapids Griffins for conditioning.

Mursak has not played this season after breaking his ankle in a Sept. 25 preseason game versus the Chicago Blackhawks. The 23-year-old forward skated in 54 games with the Griffins last season, recording 35 points (13-22—35). He also appeared in 19 games for the Red Wings, notching his first NHL goal on Jan. 10 versus Colorado. The Maribor, Slovenia, native has registered 86 points (39-47—86) in 184 career games with the Griffins from 2008-11.

He will make his season debut tonight at Lake Erie, when the Griffins take on the Monsters at 7 p.m. The team will return home for a Friday night contest versus the Peoria Rivermen at 7 p.m. and a New Year’s Eve game versus the Milwaukee Admirals at 6 p.m. Tickets are available at griffinshockey.com.
