DULUTH, Ga. - Gladiators alternate captain and current leading scorer, Casey Pierro-Zabotel has been recalled by the Norfolk Admirals of the AHL, the team announced on Monday.

Pierro-Zabotel, 26, leads the Gladiators in scoring through 11 games this season. He has tallied seven goals and six assists, including three goals and an assist this past weekend.

Pierro-Zabotel is also the longest tenured Gwinnett player on the roster, with 123 games played in a Gladiators uniform - placing him in the top-25 all-time. That distinction has now been passed on to his line-mate, second-year forward Brenden Walker, who has played in 67 games with Gwinnett.
