Chicago Wolves News Release


The Atlanta Thrashers have reassigned right wing DARREN HAYDAR, the American Hockey League's leading scorer, to the Chicago Wolves.

The 27-year-old forward was recalled by the Thrashers yesterday, but did not appear in the squad's 3-2 overtime win against the Ottawa Senators later that afternoon. He did not miss any games with the Wolves while on recall.

HAYDAR currently holds the sixth-longest scoring streak in professional hockey history after registering at least one point in each of Chicago's first 36 contests this season. He extended the streak, which is both an AHL and Wolves franchise record, by notching an assist with just nine seconds remaining in Chicago's 5-3 loss against Rochester on Dec. 30.

The Toronto native leads the AHL with 53 assists and 75 points, the most by a player in Wolves history through 36 outings, and ranks fifth with 22 goals. He has more assists than any player in the league has points, excluding linemate BRETT STERLING. His +24 plus/minus rating is also the best in the league.

Earlier this season, HAYDAR established a franchise record when he registered an assist in 14 straight tilts from Nov. 4 to Dec. 8. He has collected multiple points in 21 of his 36 games this year which includes eight three-point efforts and five four-point performances.

HAYDAR will attempt to run his historic point streak to 37 contests when the Wolves battle the Houston Aeros at the Allstate Arena on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
