The Ducks announced today that they have recalled forward Nic Kerdiles from the San Diego Gulls.
In a corresponding move, the team also announced that forward Giovanni Fiore, who made the roster out of camp as a rookie, has been sent back to San Diego.
Kerdiles, an Irvine native, made his NHL debut with the Ducks in one regular season game last year. Additionally, he played in 4 postseason games with the club, generating an assist for his first NHL point.
Kerdiles has been relatively impressive in his time in San Diego, however, a series of injuries have kept him from reaching his potential as a 2nd round (36th overall) draft pick in 2012.
