Conklin to Make Griffins Debut at Home Tonight

* The Griffins tonight will play the first of four consecutive games against North Division opponents, looking to climb closer to a playoff berth and improve upon their impressive 11-4-1-1 divisional record -- including 4-1 against the Bulldogs.

* Tonight is the next-to-last Winning Wednesday of the season. All fans in attendance for the Griffins' 4-1 win over Rochester on Jan. 25 can redeem their ticket stub for a free ticket to tonight's game. If the Griffins beat the Bulldogs, each fan in attendance will receive a free ticket to the final Wednesday game of the season, April 4 versus Texas.

* Goaltender Ty Conklin, a three-time Stanley Cup finalist and veteran of 211 NHL games, is slated to make his Griffins debut tonight after being assigned by the Red Wings on Tuesday.
