GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Detroit Red Wings on Saturday reassigned right wing Riley Barber to the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Barber joined Detroit's active roster for the fourth time this season today and logged a minus-one rating in 9:02 of ice time during the Red Wings' 7-2 defeat against Pittsburgh this afternoon. The 27-year-old competed with Detroit for the first time in his career and made his NHL season debut on Dec. 18, registering two shots and a plus-one rating. Barber has appeared in four outings for the Red Wings this season and has a minus-two rating and two penalty minutes.
