-Vintage Canuck- Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Quote Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has recalled forward Mike Zalewski from the AHL Utica Comets. Zalewski, 23, recorded 30 points (14-16-30) in 55 games with the Utica Comets this season, ranking tied for seventh on the team in scoring. He also appeared in two games for the Canucks this year, collecting one assist. The New Hartford, New York native made his NHL debut on April 12, 2014 at Edmonton and registered his first NHL point (assist) the following night versus Calgary. Prior to making his professional debut in 2014, the 6’2”, 205-pound forward spent two seasons with the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Engineers. In 71 career NCAA games, the New Hartford, New York, native compiled 47 points (21-26-47) and 75 penalty minutes. http://canucks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=877803 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmm Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Is he replacing Kenins? I remember liking him early in his call up last year, but this year... not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3. Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Jeepers. It's going to be like Utica won the lottery, when all of these guys get sent back after the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Utica has an easy schedule though, facing St.John x2 and Binghampton (bottom of the North Division) and only need 3 points to clinch. Who does Zalewski replace? Who else is injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 For just one game? Sure. As long as he sends someone else back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who does Zalewski replace? Who else is injured? McCann is still injured, and Kenins replaced him last game. I'm not sure what they would do with Zalewski, maybe he goes in for Kenins? Or replaces Pedan up front? Kind of strange only for one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Doesn't make sense when Utica is gearing up for playoffs to wear their players down with extra travel only for 8 minutes of ice time in a single game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stelar Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 why would you even waste the airfare cost to bring up this plug for one game.... bizarre.... who cares if someone is hurt, just mail it in like the last 2 games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt Pedan finish the game on D..who did he fill in for..that could be why... Comets will get a bunch heading back Saturday night .or Sunday.

I'm sure the guys getting called up appreciate the pay check and the audition I see it as the Canucks showing appreciation to there players doing well in the minors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronic.Canuck Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Utica players up with the team currently... Biega (their captain!), Pedan, Gaunce, Zalewski, Kenins... Basically their first D pairing and 3 top 9 players. No big deal for Travis Green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks..was that WDs way of rewarding Pedan..put him back on his regular position after playing a decent game at forward..he wasnt out of place there I thought...had some shots and hits.

I think it's all about picking up an NHL paycheque for the last game as a reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
