Down two games to zero in a best of five, Grand Rapids rallied for three straight wins to move on.

We got Marchenko back on defense from the Red Wings, plus Teemu Pulkkinen, the leading goal scorer in the AHL playoffs (six). He led the league in goals during the regular season despite splitting time in Detroit that only allowed him to play 46 games for the Griffins.

The first round was strange, the home team won every time. This series, it’ll be a normal 2-3-2 scheduling. We begin at Van Andel Arena May 6th.
