DETROIT, MICH -- The Griffins have announced that 2015 3rd-rounder Vili Saarijarvi has been reassigned to the Red Wings' AHL club.
After an impressive outing with the OHL's Flint Firebirds, finishing top-two for scoring on his team behind 2016 draft-eligible Will Bitten, and second among defensemen for assists in the OHL. Saarijarvi will join the Griffins before they play Lake Erie tomorrow at 7 p.m. at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids.
As for Saarijarvi's future, it remains to be seen. The Firebirds have been an absolute circus this year, and it's doubtful he will return.
