GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Monday reassigned goaltender Jake Paterson from the Ontario Hockey League’s Saginaw Spirit to the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Paterson, 19, appeared between the pipes in 45 regular season games with the Spirit this season, producing a 24-18-2 record, a 3.41 goals against average and a 0.906 save percentage. In five playoff contests with Saginaw, the 6-foot-1, 183-pound netminder yielded a 1-2-2 record, a 4.67 GAA and a 0.889 save percentage. The Mississauga, Ontario, native owns a 70-54-12 record with a 3.44 GAA and a 0.904 save percentage in 142 career OHL games. Paterson was Detroit’s second choice (80th overall) in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

The Griffins will begin a three-game stretch at Van Andel Arena with a tilt against the Iowa Wild on Wednesday, followed by back-to-back games against the Hamilton Bulldogs on Friday and Saturday. All three games will begin at 7 p.m.
