NORFOLK, Va. - The Norfolk Admirals have recalled forward Philip-Michael Devos (DUH-voss) from the ECHL's Florida Everblades, Admirals General Manager Julien BriseBois announced today.

He is tied for second on Florida in points while leading the team with 11 assists. He has also recorded two power play goals. Devos made his professional debut on October 14 vs. Gwinnett, recording an assist. He notched his first pro goal two games later on October 22 at Trenton.
