GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Calvin Pickard logged 26 saves to earn his first shutout of the season and backstop the Grand Rapids Griffins to a 3-0 victory over the Milwaukee Admirals on Wednesday at Van Andel Arena.
Behind a defense that was bolstered earlier today by the assignment of veteran defenseman Jonathan Ericsson from the Detroit Red Wings, Pickard secured his first shutout since Nov. 23, 2018 (PHI vs. NYR) and his first AHL whitewash since Jan. 20, 2018 (TOR at BNG).
As a result, the Griffins improved to 3-2-0-1 and kicked off their four-game homestand with their first home-ice win of the season.
