Griffins Surge to Historic Pace — League‑Best in Nearly Everything
According to the latest update from the Grand Rapids Griffins, the team currently sits atop the AHL in nearly every major statistical category. They lead the league with 4.05 goals per game, hold the lowest goals‑against average (1.84), and top the standings in wins (17), points (35), and point percentage (.921). They also lead in home performance — most home wins, most home points — and boast the league’s best penalty kill at 93.1%.
This dominance is no fluke. The Griffins have outscored opponents 77–35 across their games. Their offensive firepower — bolstered by multiple multi‑goal games and depth across scoring lines — has put serious pressure on opposing defenses. Meanwhile, their structure on defense and the net has kept their goals‑against low, reinforcing their identity as a complete, balanced squad.
Their home record shows just how well they’ve defended their own rink. With a staggering home PK rate and a strong scoring margin at home (38–16), they’ve turned the home crowd into a genuine advantage.
If the Griffins maintain this pace — a first‑rate offense, disciplined defense, clutch special teams — they’ll be more than a story of a hot start. They could become the AHL team everyone expects to beat.
