GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Grand Rapids Griffins on Monday reassigned goaltender Jan Bednar to the ECHL's Toledo Walleye.
Bednar competed in three games with the Griffins during his call up and logged a 1-1-0 record with a 1.30 goals-against average and a .944 save percentage. On March 15 at Rockford during his AHL debut, he became just the ninth rookie goaltender in franchise history to win their first game, collecting 14 saves in a 3-1 victory.

Last campaign as a rookie with Toledo, the 22-year-old logged a 22-7-2 record with two shutouts with a 2.66 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage in 36 regular-season outings. He added a 4-1 ledger in the 2024 Kelly Cup Playoffs with a 2.37 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage.
