Grand Rapids Griffins News Release
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Detroit Red Wings on Saturday assigned forward Tomas Nosek to the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Nosek, 24, has skated in 48 games with the Griffins this season and ranks among the team's leaders with 39 points (5th), 15 goals (6th), 24 assists (T3rd), 23 power play points (T3rd) and seven power play goals (3rd). He notched the game-tying goal with nine seconds remaining in regulation during Grand Rapids' 5-4 overtime win against Chicago last night.
Nosek has appeared in six career games with the Wings, all coming last season, and recorded two PIM. He became the 152nd Griffins alumnus to play in the NHL when he debuted with Detroit on Dec. 26, 2015 at Nashville.
In his third season as a Griffin, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound center has played in 173 games in Grand Rapids since 2014 and accounted for 103 points (41-62 - 103), a plus-46 rating and 97 PIM.
