2020-21 Game Note Bios SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 2021 – ROCKET MORTGAGE FIELDHOUSE at GRAND RAPIDS GRIFFINS (8-5-2-0) at CLEVELAND MONSTERS (7-5-1-0) Griffins Game #16 * Road Game #12 * AHL Game #218 RECORDS Season Series: 3-0-0-0 Home Series: 1-0-0-0 Road Series: 2-0-0-0 All-Time Series: 57-31-5-10 All-Time Home Series: 32-16-1-2 All-Time Road Series: 25-15-4-8 Griffins at Monsters Fourth of 10 meetings overall, third of five at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse…The Griffins are 3-0 versus the Monsters this season, including 2-0 in Cleveland...Against all other foes, the Monsters are 7-3 and the Griffins are 5-5-2-0…Pat Nagle has earned all three wins against the Monsters this season, sporting a 1.33 goals against average and a 0.947 save percentage in the series...Grand Rapids owns the AHL’s best road power play at 33.3% while Cleveland has the league’s 27th-ranked home penalty kill at 72.2%...Grand Rapids and Cleveland are Central Division foes for the first time since 2017-18, following the Monsters’ two-year foray into the North Division and Eastern Conference...These teams split a four-game series in 2019-20, with each winning and losing once on the other’s ice...Griffins head coach Ben Simon is a native of the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights. Last Time Out The Griffins won more than their share of games, plus the 2013 Calder Cup, when Petr Mrazek was between their pipes from 2012-15. On Thurs- day, they found out how the other half lived, as Mrazek made 43 saves on a conditioning stint from the Carolina Hurricanes to backstop the Chica- go Wolves to a 5-2 victory at the Triphahn Center Ice Arena. Mrazek, whose last AHL game was on March 6, 2015, had never played for any AHL team except Grand Rapids (87 GP, 54-27-1, 2.21 GAA, 0.920%, 7 SO). With assists on Turner Elson’s goal 2:56 into the game, Tory Dello rec- orded his first pro point, and Mathias Brome logged his first AHL point in his debut after being assigned by Detroit earlier this week. A scoreless second period saw the Griffins outshoot Chicago by a 23-8 margin, as Grand Rapids tied its franchise record for shots in a road period achieved on three prior occasions, most recently during the second period of a 5-3 win at Texas on Jan. 31, 2019. The Griffins this season are now 0-4 at the Triphahn Center and 8-1-2-0 in all other buildings. Sub on the Mic In Bob Kaser’s absence, the Griffins are pleased to welcome Matt Melzak as tonight’s guest play-by-play broadcaster on AHLTV and Newsradio WOOD 106.9 FM/1300 AM. Making his AHL debut, Melzak is the voice of Grand Rapids’ ECHL affiliate, the Toledo Walleye, and as such will be the only member of the Walleye recalled to the Griffins this season. Thank you, Matt! This Date in Griffins History 2016: The Griffins clinch their fourth straight playoff berth with a 5-2 win at Rochester, as Todd Nelson secures his fifth postseason trip in as many full seasons as an AHL head coach and first with Grand Rapids. Get Your Groove Back Despite suffering consecutive regulation losses for the first time since their first two games of the season (Feb. 5-11), the Griffins have still earned points in six of their last eight games (4-2-2-0) and 10 of their last 13 contests (8-3-2-0). They’ve also grabbed points in all four home games (2-0-2 -0) this season. Try This Again The Griffins recently experienced their first two schedule disruptions of the season, as their home games on Friday, March 19 and Tuesday, March 23 were both postponed due to league COVID-19 protocols affecting Chicago. The contests have been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 13 and Monday, April 20, respectively. “Let’s Play Two…More” On March 25, the AHL announced two additions to the Griffins’ schedule, increasing the team’s number of regular season games to 32. In addition to their eight previously scheduled clashes, the Griffins will now face the Cleveland Monsters on Friday, April 9 at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, before hosting the Monsters on Tuesday, April 20 at Van Andel Arena. Both games will face off at 7 p.m. With the addition of the April 20 contest, the Griffins will have an eight-game homestand (April 10-28) that will be their longest since an eight-game stretch from Jan. 10-25, 2020 (5-1-0-2 record) and tie for the second-longest in franchise history. Grand Rapids staged nine straight games at Van Andel Arena from Oct. 26-Nov. 18, 2004 (4-4-1-0 record). Prior to this season, the Griffins’ high-water mark for regular season home games during April had been five, established in 2015. Keep the Suitcase Packed Given the recent postponements of those home games against Chicago plus the addition of the April 9 game at Cleveland, Grand Rapids is in the midst of playing six consecutive games on the road. By the time they return to Van Andel Arena next Saturday, April 10 to host Rockford, the Grif- fins to that point will have played 13 of their 17 games within unfriendly confines. Another Rung Up The Ladder Brian Lashoff’s 513 games played for the Griffins rank first among active AHL players who have spent their entire AHL career with the same club and tie for eighth in league history among one-team players. Of the players ahead of him on that list, the most recent – and, coincidentally, the record-holder – last played during the 1970-71 season (Bill Needham of the Cleveland Barons, 981 games played). Lashoff, who was unfit to play the last two games, tied No. 8-ranked Stan Smrke (Rochester 1957-67) on March 26 and is now four games behind No. 7 Pete Kapusta (Providence Reds 1946-55). Life of Riley Riley Barber, who registered a season-high three points (1-2—3) in last Friday’s 5-2 win at Iowa, has goals in three of the last four games and points in 12 of 15 games this season. He posted a nine-game point streak from Feb. 5-March 11 that was the longest ever to start a player's Grif- fins career as well as the longest from the start of a Griffins season. Barber is tied for second in the AHL with 11 goals while his 18 points are tied for 10th. He also is tied for first with eight power play points. High Flyers While his three-game goal and point streaks (four goals) were snapped last Saturday in Iowa, Chase Pearson has recorded points in six of the last nine games (4-4—8)…Taro Hirose notched his second three-point game of the season in last Friday’s win over the Wild (Feb. 28 at CHI) before contributing an assist on Thursday in Chicago...Joe Hicketts’ three assists against Iowa last Friday were the most by a Griffin since Hirose tallied three on Jan. 24, 2020 versus San Diego. He added two more in last Saturday’s loss. His nine assists on the season tie for seventh among AHL defensemen...Turner Elson has points in three of the last four games (1-3—4)…Tyler Spezia’s second two-goal game of the season last Satur- day matched Riley Barber for the most by a Griffin this season...Dominic Turgeon’s three-game point streak (1-3—4) was snapped by the Wolves on Thursday...Kevin Boyle on Thursday lost in regulation for the first time since his Griffins debut on Feb. 11, as he had gone 4-0-1 over his previous five decisions. Powerful Play Following a 2019-20 campaign in which they finished sixth in the AHL’s power play rankings at 20.9%, the Griffins are off to an even better start this season, currently sitting second in the league at 25.9% and first on the road at 33.3%. Grand Rapids converted four of seven opportunities in last weekend’s two-game set in Iowa and has now scored at least one power play goal in nine of its 15 games. Welcome to the Club The Red Wings on Monday reassigned left wing Mathias Brome and defenseman Dennis Cholowski to Grand Rapids from their taxi squad and reassigned left wing Givani Smith to their taxi squad from the Griffins. The 26-year-old Brome, who registered an assist in his AHL debut in Chica- go on Thursday, has registered one goal and eight penalty minutes in 24 appearances with the Red Wings during his first season in North America. He skated in 52 games for Orebro HK in the Swedish Hockey League in 2019-20, where he led the team in assists and points with an SHL career- high 43 points (17-26-43), a plus-10 rating and 22 penalty minutes. The 6-foot, 183-pound winger also finished among SHL league leaders in goals (T7th), assists (7th) and points (6th) in his third season in the league. A native of Orby, Sweden, Brome spent his first two SHL seasons with Mora IK after helping the club earn a promotion in 2016-17 out of the second-tier Allsvenskan, in which he led the team with 49 points (18-31-49) and led the league with a plus-23 rating.

  • Buffalo Sabres Digital Press
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips February 14, 2018 Sabres Prospect Will Borgen soaking in Olympic experience The Buffalo News Amy Moritz February 14, 2018 It first sank in for Will Borgen that he could be an Olympian over the summer. That's when he got an email from USA Hockey telling him he was in the mix to make the U.S. men's hockey team for the 2018 Games. It started to sink in after Jan. 1 when the team was officially announced and he received congratulations from family and friends. But it didn't really hit Borgen until last week, when he landed in South Korea and met the rest of the team, for the first time. "Once they announced it everyone was kind of congratulating me and it got a little more real then," Borgen said via an email interview from South Korea. "But not really until I got over here did I feel like I was an Olympian." Indeed, Borgen now can list "Olympian" on his hockey resume, although he did not suit up for the U.S. in its opening game against Slovenia, one which saw the Americans blow a 2-0 third period lead en route to a 3-2 overtime loss. ADVERTISEMENT The 21-year-old defenseman was a fourth-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. A junior at St. Cloud State, he has 38 points (five goals, 33 assists) in 96 career collegiate games. 2018 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies 2018 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies The experience of being an Olympian is one thing, but playing on this particular U.S.

  • Chicago Wolves Game Notes SAN ANTONIO at CHICAGO JANUARY 5, 2019 7 P.M
    2018-19 Chicago Wolves Game Notes SAN ANTONIO AT CHICAGO JANUARY 5, 2019 7 p.m. CW50 POWER OUTAGE 2018-19 Four games and seven days ago, the Chicago Wolves ranked second in the American Hockey League TALE OF THE TAPE with 3.94 goals per game. Considering the Wolves were averaging practically four goals per game -- REGULAR-SEASON SERIES and hadn’t scored fewer than 2 goals in any of their first 32 games -- who would have dreamed they 3-0-0-0 San Antonio | 0-3-0-0 Chicago would score just four goals in their last four games? Friday night’s 3-0 home loss to San Antonio was the most recent struggle for the Wolves offense, though some of it makes sense considering No. 1 scorer Brandon Pirri has missed the last eight games while playing for Vegas (NHL), No. 1 scoring defenseman Erik Brännström has missed the last 10 games while playing for Team Sweden in the World Junior Championship and point-per-game forward Tomas Hyka has missed nearly all of the last four games due to injury. 17-17-1-0 20-12-3-1 Any number of these three vital Wolves could be back in the lineup tonight, but that’s not the only LEADING SCORERS IN SERIES encouraging sign for head coach Rocky Thompson. SAN ANTONIO CHICAGO Skater G A Pts Skater G A Pts “We’ve been fighting it a little bit here the last four games,” Thompson said after Friday’s loss. “I think MacEachern 3 0 3 Quinney 1 1 2 a lot of that was on us originally -- like trying to make an extra play, not having a shooter’s mentality Wotherspoon 1 2 3 Brännström 1 1 2 Nolan 2 0 2 Hyka 1 1 2 and not shooting for rebounds in non-scoring areas.
