In case you missed it Ty Conklin’s debut Wednesday in Grand Rapids was successful.
Conklin stopped 22 shots as the Griffins defeated Hamilton 4-2 at Van Andel Arena.
It was Conklin’s first American League victory in more than four years.
Gustav Nyquist, by the way, had a goal and two assists for the Griffins.
Conklin didn’t see his first shot until 2 minutes 4 seconds remained in the first period – the only shot he saw in the first period.
Conklin hadn’t played since Feb. 4 (allowing three goals on nine shots in Edmonton) and hadn’t played a full game since Jan. 17.
Considering the lack of game action Conklin has had, it was a positive step overall.
