GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Three players are heading south from Grand Rapids. On Sunday, Detroit moved goalie Carter Gylander from the Griffins to the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL, and Grand Rapids sent forwards Nolan Moyle and Tag Bertuzzi to Toledo as well.
Gylander, 25, made his first start of the season for the Griffins on Oct. 24 against Cleveland and stopped 24 shots in a 5-2 win, the 50th victory of his pro career. In three AHL seasons he is 10-2-1 with a .917 save percentage. With Toledo he has a 40-20-10 regular-season mark and helped the Walleye reach the 2025 Kelly Cup Finals.
Moyle, 27, had one assist and seven penalty minutes over eight games for Grand Rapids this fall. Bertuzzi, 25, debuted with the Griffins on Oct. 10 in Milwaukee and has four goals in six games with the Walleye this season.
The moves trim a deep roster. Grand Rapids beat Milwaukee 4-2 on Friday to stretch a points streak to nine games and owned the best record in the AHL at 10-2-1-1. The Griffins also lead the league on the penalty kill at 93 percent, having given up only four power-play goals in 57 chances.
