Red Wings forward Teemu Pulkkinen, who led the American Hockey League in goals despite playing just 46 games, has been reassigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins on the eve of their opening Calder Cup playoff series with Toronto.
A 23-year-old Finnish-born right wing with a deadly shot, Pulkkinen had 34 goals for the Griffins and five more in 31 games with the Red wings this season. His 61 points were second among Griffins this season and tied for 10th overall. He was named an AHL First-Team All-Star this season.
Grand Rapids opens its best-of-five series with the Marlies with back-to-back road games Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. The series then shifts to Grand Rapids for the final three games of the series.
