GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday recalled defenseman Xavier Ouellet from the Grand Rapids Griffins.
A native of Bayonne, France, Ouellet is tied for first in scoring among Griffins defensemen with five points (1-4 - 5) in 13 games this season. The 6-foot, 200-pound blueliner also ties for first on the team in shots with 44. In his rookie campaign last season, Ouellet tallied 17 points (4-13 - 17) and 22 penalty minutes in 70 games with Grand Rapids.
Ouellet also suited up in four regular season contests with Detroit during the 2013-14 season, registering four shots and two PIM.
