NORFOLK, Va. - The Norfolk Admirals, proud affiliate of the NHL's Edmonton Oilers and the AHL's Bakersfield Condors, announce today that the team has acquired left wing Kain Allicock and defenseman Alex Lepkowski from the Missouri Mavericks in exchange for center Sebastien Sylvestre.
Allicock, 25, scored once in 21 games for Missouri in his rookie season of 2014-15. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound winger spent parts of five seasons at the collegiate level, two at Wilfrid Laurier University and three at the University of Waterloo. He compiled 28 goals and 34 assists in 109 games.
Lepkowski, 22, posted a goal and seven assists in addition to a minus-6 on-ice rating in 2014-15 for the Mavericks.
