GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Jared Coreau, despite a seven-game winning streak and sparking stats with the Grand Rapids Griffins, became the odd goalie out Tuesday and was sent to Toledo of the ECHL.

Coreau, 23, is tied for ninth among AHL goaltenders with a 2.15 goals against average, along with a.926 save percentage and 13-6-1 record. His seven-game winning streak with the Griffins includes back-to-back shutouts - against Iowa on Jan. 29 (6-0) and Milwaukee on Jan. 30 (3-0).

His last game was a 4-3 overtime win at home against Milwaukee Feb. 18.

In 11 games, Mrazek has a 2.07 GAA with a .924 save percentage. The other goalie is Tom McCollum, who still leads the team with 23 games. He has a 2.50 GAA and .904 save percentage.

In addition to his time with Grand Rapids, the 6-foot-5, 230-pound Coreau has played in six games with the Walleye, with a 3.11 GAA and .883 save percentage.

The Griffins, winners of eight in a row and first in the Midwest Division, host Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
