Utica Comets Director of Hockey Operations Pat Conacher has announced that the club has recalled forward Cody Kunyk from the Alaska Aces of the ECHL.

The 26-year old forward finished the 2015-16 season second on his team in goals (13) and points (29) with the Gentofte Stars of the Meta Ligaen (Denmark). Prior to playing overseas, Kunyk spent his rookie season with the Syracuse Crunch. He collected 26 points (10-16-26), and 38 penalty minutes in 69 games.
