Grand Rapids Griffins News Release
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Grand Rapids Griffins on Saturday recalled defenseman Matt Caito from the ECHL's Toledo Walleye.
Skating in his first full professional season, Caito has played 10 games with the Griffins this year. He logged his first career AHL goal and assist during a 6-0 win against San Antonio on Feb. 18.
Caito has appeared in 14 contests with the Walleye during this year's campaign, scoring seven points (5-2 - 7) and tying for fourth among team defensemen in goals. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound blueliner registered his first pro hat trick on Nov. 25 against Fort Wayne.

He notched 151 career games with the RedHawks from 2012-16, totaled 72 points (16-56 - 72) and led the team's defensemen in scoring during his first three years on campus.
The Central Division-leading Griffins face the Milwaukee Admirals tonight at 7 p.m. at Van Andel Arena. The game is sold out.
