GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Sunday reassigned defensemen Seth Barton, Donovan Sebrango and Eemil Viro, and goaltender John Lethemon from the Grand Rapids Griffins to the Toledo Walleye (ECHL). In addition, the Griffins reassigned forwards Trenton Bliss, Kirill Tyutyayev and Drew Worrad to the Walleye.

Toledo enters its season finale tonight against the Fort Wayne Komets with a 45-19-4-3 record (0.683), which is good for second place in the Central Division of the ECHL. The Walleye will begin the Kelly Cup playoffs on Friday, April 21 when they host the Indy Fuel in game one of a best-of-seven series in the Central Division semifinals. A season ago, the Walleye dropped a 4-1 series against the Florida Everblades in the Kelly Cup Finals.
