Wings Recall Weiss from Grand Rapids

October 30, 2014 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Grand Rapids Griffins News Release

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Detroit Red Wings on Thursday recalled center Stephen Weiss from the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Florida's first choice (4th overall) in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, Weiss appeared in 26 games with the Red Wings during the 2013-14 season and notched four points (2-2 - 4) and 12 penalty minutes. The 13-year pro did not play after Dec. 10 following hernia surgery and has appeared in only one game with the Wings this season.

Since 2001-02, the 31-year-old Weiss has amassed 398 points (147-251 - 398) in 681 NHL games between the Panthers and Wings. A native of Toronto, Ontario, Weiss is Florida's all-time leader in games played (654) and assists (249).

Weiss was loaned to Grand Rapids by Detroit on Tuesday for conditioning and made his Griffins debut last night at Van Andel Arena in a 2-1 loss to the Rockford IceHogs, skating in the first two periods before being pulled for precautionary reasons.

Weiss' last AHL stint was during the 2004-05 season, when he split his campaign between the San Antonio Rampage and the Chicago Wolves. In 91 career AHL games, Weiss has recorded 63 points (28-35 - 63) and 64 PIM. Prior to turning pro, he tallied 223 points (89-134-223) in 172 games with the OHL's Plymouth Whalers.
