Final

Sources: mlive, Grand Rapids Griffins

If you missed Sunday's game, here's the short version: the Griffins beat the Chicago Wolves 5-1 at Allstate Arena, and goalie Michal Postava moved to 5-0 with a 1.20 goals-against average and a .955 save percentage. It was his first game back after a two-game stint with the Detroit Red Wings.

Rookie Carter Bear had a goal and two assists, and five different Griffins scored. Chase Stillman's goal was his first as a Griffin, and Kienan Draper's empty-netter was his first as a pro, a nice souvenir.

Record: 8-1-1-1 for 18 points, best in the AHL
Points streak: seven games (6-0-0-1)
Carter Bear: nine points (three goals, six assists) in nine games
Next: hosting Texas on Wed., Nov. 4, at 7 p.m.

Postava is 5-⁠0 with the Griffins

Griffins

John Leonard heads to the Red Wings and Nolan Moyle comes up from Toledo

The Detroit Red Wings recalled forward John Leonard from the Griffins on Sunday, and the Griffins recalled forward Nolan Moyle from the ECHL's Toledo Walleye. The move follows Saturday's loss to the St. Louis Blues and gives coach Todd McLellan another offensive option while Detroit deals with injuries.

Leonard went from a Rockford hat trick to a Detroit recall

The Wrap

One West Michigan man, Donovan Spencer, spends his free time hunting for pieces of the past with a shovel, some gloves and a metal detector. He's usually after relics from the 1920s and earlier, and sometimes he picks a spot just because he spots an old Victorian house. Good things come to those who wait, he says. Happy digging.
