GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Friday reassigned forward Zach Nastasiuk to the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye from the Grand Rapids Griffins, while the Griffins released forward A.J. Jenks from his professional tryout and he will report to the Walleye.

Nastasiuk, 20, has appeared in 15 games with the Griffins and has recorded four assists and two penalty minutes.

Detroit’s second choice (48th overall) in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Nastasiuk has logged seven games in Toledo this season, tallying four goals, two assists and four PIM. The Barrie, Ontario, native has played in a total of 26 regular season games for the Griffins since 2013-14, also tacking on one assist in 11 games between the 2014 and 2015 Calder Cup Playoffs.
