Eric Tangradi News

Tangradi has only appeared in one game with the Red Wings, but has impressed at the AHL level, picking up 49 points (24G / 25A) in 60 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins. He has 15 career points (5G / 10A) in 144 NHL games.

Tangradi played just 6:55 TOI in his Red Wings debut on Monday and has been sent down to play with Grand Rapids over the NHL All-Star break. He currently leads the Griffins with 31 points on the year.

When Tagradi was called up, he was leading Grand Rapids (AHL) in points (31) and with Teemu Pulkkinen banged up, Tangradi will make his Red Wings debut vs. the Islanders. Despite great numbers at the AHL level, he has just 15 points (5G / 10A) in 144 career NHL games with the Penguins, Jets and Canadiens.

Tangradi leads the Grand Rapids Griffins in goals with 13 to go along with nine assists (22 points) in 24 games this season. The 26-year-old has almost as many goals as he did last year (14) in half the amount of games. He is with the Red Wings on their road trip and could make his Wings’ debut on Monday or Tuesday.

Tangradi played just 5:34 TOI and was a minus-1 last night; the only game he played during his recall. His return to the AHL means Lars Eller will be back on Saturday .

Tangradi was acquired for Peter Budaj before the start of the season and served as a healthy scratch for the first 23 games of the season. He will skate on the fourth line with Manny Malhotra and Dale Weise.

Tangradi isn't fantasy relevant. The Jets add a big body upfront and adds to their thin forward depth.

Tangradi played with Malkin and Neal on Monday, while Bennett played with them today. Keep an eye on this line, whoever plays with Malkin and Neal receives a boost in fantasy value.

Tangradi has 1 goal in 40 career NHL games so he isn't really an ideal fantasy player. He's been able to find the net in the AHL, so maybe playing with Malkin and Neal will spark some goal scoring from Tangradi.

Expect Tangradi to fill in on the third line. The rookie registered an assist in 23 games.
