    TONIGHT Grand Rapids Griffins (32-25-2-8) vs. Oklahoma City Barons (34-25-2-5) TONIGHT 7 p.m. Van Andel Arena

    Now just three points out of a playoff spot in the North Division, the Griffins return to Van Andel Arena tonight to start their first-ever 4-in-5 on home ice.

    Grand Rapids is 6-0-1-0 in its last seven games - its longest point streak since a nine-game winning streak from Oct. 23-Nov. 13, 2009 - a league-best 8-1-1-0 in its last 10, 9-1-1-2 in its last 13, and 10-2-1-3 in its last 16. In addition, the Griffins' four-game winning streak and six-game point streak (5-0-0-1) at home are both season highs.

    Tonight, the Griffins will try to stretch their remarkable winning streak in Wednesday home games to six. It's a Winning Wednesday, so all fans who were in attendance for the Griffins' 5-3 win over Hamilton on Feb. 16 can redeem their ticket stubs for free tickets to the game. Furthermore, if the Griffins beat the Barons, each fan in attendance can redeem their ticket stub for a free ticket to the March 23 game against Toronto. Other promotions include Hockey Night, Library Night, Griff's Reading Goals and the post-game party at Peppino's downtown.

    TICKETS: Tickets for tonight's game are available at The Zone at Van Andel Arena and all Star Tickets outlets, including Meijer stores. Call 222-4000 / 800-585-3737 or purchase online at griffinshockey.com.
