CARROZZI made his American Hockey League debut in one game with Chicago this season, posting a 5.55 goals-against average and .778 save percentage in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Peoria Rivermen on March 1. The 21-year-old netminder also backstopped 47 outings for Gwinnett during his professional debut this season, notching a 3.23 goals-against average, .894 save percentage and 16-22-4 record.
