Griffins and Icehogs are tied at one game a piece. Tonight’s game is at Van Andel Arena in downtown Grand Rapids.

Meanwhile, how about NATE DAWG?

Nate Danielson has been on another level at the Western Conference Championship.

Logging a four-point night in Portland's decisive win over the Cougars on Wednesday night, the @DetroitRedWings prospect is up to 10 points in his last three games.@pdxwinterhawks | #WHLPlayoffs

The Winterhawks lost last night. No points for Danielson in a 6-1 beating.

Wouldn’t worry too much about Buchelnikov. He’ll stick in the K until he’s ready to make the jump to the NHL. Fairly standard procedure, and don’t forget that Detroit still (and will continue to) hold his NHL rights.
