The American Hockey League announced today that Bridgeport Sound Tigers center David Ullstrom has been named the Reebok/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Feb. 20, 2011.

Entering the week without a goal in his previous 21 games, Ullstrom picked up a goal and an assist at Springfield on Wednesday night.
