GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Detroit Red Wings have reassigned right wing Gustav Nyquist to the Grand Rapids Griffins.

A native of Halmstad, Sweden, Nyquist still leads the AHL with 60 points (23-37-60) in 57 games, despite missing the Griffins' last three contests after being recalled by Detroit last Tuesday. The 23-year-old forward recorded one assist and seven shots in four games with the Red Wings this season and has eight points (1-7-8) in 22 career NHL games.

Detroit's third choice (121st overall) in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, Nyquist has racked up 122 points (46-76-122) in 121 career games with the Griffins. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound right wing shows 15 points (6-9-5) in his last nine games with Grand Rapids (Feb. 22-March 10).

The Griffins will conclude a three-game road trip with a rematch against Peoria on Tuesday at 8:05 p.m., after falling to the Rivermen 3-2 in overtime on Sunday. Grand Rapids will play a home-and-home series against Lake Erie this weekend, hosting the Monsters on Friday at 7 p.m. before visiting Cleveland on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for Friday's game are available at griffinshockey.com.
