Saarijarvi posted four points (one goal, three assists) in his tenure with the Walleye. Most of the points came in his debut where he notched three assists. The 2015 third-rounder will join the Griffins in preparation for their run in the Calder Cup Playoffs, one they are considered a heavy favorite for.
