The Calder Cup Playoffs are here, and the Grand Rapids Griffins are set to open their first-round series against the Manitoba Moose.
Grand Rapids dominated the regular season matchup, going 6-1-1-0, but the playoffs are a different challenge. The Griffins will start the series on the road in Manitoba before returning home for the remainder of this best-of-five showdown.
This series isn’t just about winning—it’s a glimpse into the future of the Detroit Red Wings.
Players like Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Carter Mazur, Shai Buium, Anton Johansson, and Sebastian Cossa could all play key roles—not just in this playoff run, but in Detroit’s future.
At the same time, this team will be driven by its veteran leadership. Dominik Shine, John Leonard, Sheldon Dries, and Erik Gustafsson helped set the tone all season, and their experience will be crucial in a playoff environment.
This Griffins team believes it can make a deep run—and it all starts here.
Let’s break it down.
