According to the AP, Matt Ellis is on his way from Grand Rapids to Columbus. Word is he’ll be in the lineup tonite. I’m going to point you to an email Joe Conklin wrote me last week, in response to some questions I had about the value of Ellis and Jiri Hudler. As you can see, the Griff organization is happy for Ellis today.

“Ellis is a power forward who gets most of his goals within 10 feet of the net. He’s the hardest working player I’ve ever seen, both on and off the ice. He’s a first-class guy who is a perfect fit to be the Griffins’ captain. Every person in the Griffins’ organization wants to see Ellis get a NHL chance.”
Ellis will take Tomas Kopecky’s spot on the roster. Who will sit? You tell me. My guess is Hudler, but you knew I’d say that. I’ll have more on Ellis prior to game time tonite.
