As expected after last night's injury to Mattias Backman, Brandon Anselmini has been recalled to Texas for the road trip. Backman was ijured in the first last night and was noted as 'day-to-day' by Coach Laxdal. Texas hits the road for a three-game swing on Wednesday, so he said he expected to make a call.
Anselmini leads the ECHL in power play assists.
Forward Branden Troock was also assigned to the ECHL in a transaction earlier today.
Here's the release:
