Grand Rapids Griffins News Release
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Detroit Red Wings on Saturday assigned defenseman Brian Lashoff to the Grand Rapids Griffins, while the Griffins assigned defenseman Patrick McCarron to the ECHL's Toledo Walleye.
Lashoff totaled 4:02 of ice time in Detroit's 3-1 win against Buffalo last night at Little Caesars Arena. In his eighth full year as a professional, Lashoff has skated in 123 games with the Red Wings over parts of five seasons (2012-15, 2016-18), contributing 13 points (2-11 - 13) and 57 penalty minutes while also appearing in eight Stanley Cup Playoff contests.
An alternate captain with the Griffins, Lashoff has two points (1-1 - 2) and four penalty minutes in 13 games this season. A 6-foot-3, 221-pound blueliner, Lashoff has played in 343 regular season games in Grand Rapids - which ranks sixth in the team's record book - since 2008-09 and totaled 71 points (17-54 - 71), a plus-15 rating and 169 PIM. One of only three players in franchise history to be a part of both the 2013 and 2017 Calder Cup championships, Lashoff has added 16 points (4-12 - 16) in 68 Calder Cup Playoff games.
McCarron, 23, is skating in his first full professional season and has not appeared with the Griffins this year. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound blueliner has tallied four points (2-2 - 4) and a plus-four rating in 11 games with the Walleye.
Prior to turning pro, McCarron played four seasons at Cornell University, where he accumulated 50 points (12-38 - 50) in 123 career games from 2013-17 and was named to the All-Ivy League Second Team as a senior.
McCarron has made one career appearance with the Griffins, playing in the 2016-17 regular season finale at Milwaukee and tallying his first pro point on an assist.
The Griffins will conclude their five-game road trip tonight when they play the Rockford IceHogs at 7 p.m. EST.
