Updates on Amerks Injuries and Player Moves

January 4, 2010 - By

The story for the Amerks throughout the month of December was injuries and player moves, both up to the Panthers and fill ins from ECHL teams. The new year brings what should be some more stability to the team with a number of players returning Friday January 8th.

Here’s a quick update on injuries and player moves:

Daniel Steiner rejoined the Amerks on Saturday after playing in the Spengler Cup tournament in Switzerland. In four games with the team he has three goals and one assist, one of those goals was scoring moments into the game on Saturday. His status with the team going forward could be in question because of his veteran status.

Daniel Tkaczuk was released today from his PTO. In 10 games he had two assists.

Shawn Matthias took a shot off the knee last Thursday against Lake Erie was scheduled for xrays today, hopefully its just a bruised knee.

There was no scoring in the first period and it was a pretty even period with the Amerks having more scoring chances.

Jimmy Bonneau and Grant McNeill dropped the gloves at 2:57 of the third period and put on a good fight.  Both players got a few good punches in.  I’d give the edge to Bonneau since a couple of his punchs appeared to buckle McNeills knees.

For the second game in a row the Amerks followed up a fight with a goal.  Evgeny Dadonov scored his fourth goal of the season at 3:26 of the second picking a top corner off a great pass by Chris Taylor from the high slot.

It only took Bears Captain Bryan Helmer a measly 38 seconds to score unassisted and tie the game 1-1.  Oskar Osala followed up nine [...]Read More
