Condors misc:
F Slava Trukhno returned to the Condors today after being released from his Professional Try-Out with the Peoria Rivermen in the AHL. Trukhno had 1g-1a in three games with the Rivermen... D Phil Paquet is expected to make his Condors debut tonight after his acquisition from the Florida Everblades earlier in the week... RW Erick Lizon will serve the last contest of his nine-game ECHL suspension tonight. Lizon was handed down the judgment after a post-game brawl on Jan. 28 in Alaska... LW Brad Snetsinger is 4th in the league with 182 shots on goal, and is on pace to crack the top 5 in Condors history in that category... G Josh Tordjman is 4th in the ECHL with 962 saves and tied for the league lead with three shutouts... After going 36 games without a goal this season, D Jay Cascalenda has two goals in the last three contests, including a game-winner from Feb. 11 in Idaho. The second-year blueliner did practically the same thing last season with South Carolina, were he played 35 games without a tally, and then scored in back-to-back outings.
Transactions:
Andrew Ianiero was activated from 7-day IR today... F Tibor Varga was placed on the 3-day IR yesterday and is eligible to be activated on Thursday... C Rylan Kaip and LW J.D. Corbin both remain on 21-day IR, though both are eligible to be activated.
