Rafferty and Austin Watson were recently recalled. Rafferty is going back to the AHL without playing in the NHL lineup.
This demotion likely means Jeff Petry is ready to return to the lineup. The defender hasn’t played a game since January 2nd against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Rafferty has 19 points in 50 games for the Griffins. This is his second year with the Red Wings AHL affiliate. Last season, he recorded 29 points in 62 games.
Red Wings fans will have to wait to see if Petry returns for their next game.
