RETURNING TO DETROIT

Apr 08, 2016

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Friday recalled forward Joakim Andersson from the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Since his Feb. 11 assignment, Andersson has played in 19 games for the Griffins and accumulated five points (2-3—5), a plus-two rating and two penalty minutes. He notched a goal and an assist for his first multi-point game of the season during Grand Rapids’ 6-1 win at Rochester on April 1.

Detroit’s second choice (88th overall) in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, Andersson has played in 28 games with the Red Wings this season and tallied three points (1-2—3), six PIM and a plus-one rating.

The 6-foot-1, 211-pound forward has played in 204 career NHL games, all with the Red Wings, and has amassed 36 points (15-21—36) and 48 PIM. Andersson has played in each of the last three Stanley Cup Playoffs with Detroit (2013-15), tallying seven points (2-5—7) in 22 games.

Between 2008-16, the Munkedal, Sweden, native registered 106 points (41-65—106) and 123 PIM in 208 regular season games for the Griffins. Andersson was a member of the Griffins’ 2013 Calder Cup Championship team, totaling eight points (3-5—8) in 10 playoff games.

The playoff-bound Griffins have six games remaining in the regular season and will host the Chicago Wolves tonight at 7 p.m.

The Red Wings can guarantee themselves an Eastern Conference playoff spot with a regulation or overtime victory on Saturday when they close out the regular season at the New York Rangers.
