GLENS FALLS, NY - The Adirondack Thunder, proud ECHL affiliate of the New Jersey Devils, announced today that forward Brian Ward has been reassigned to the Thunder from the AHL's Binghamton Devils.

With Adirondack, the 6-foot-1 center has put up nine points (5g-4a), 51 PIM and a plus-four rating in 19 games played to start the season.

The Thunder are home for a trio of games this week on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings.
