This season, he had nine multiple point games and collected points in 20 of the 23 games he played with the Cyclones. Since being recalled by Hamilton, Latendresse has five assists in seven games.
Last season, Latendresse started the season with Arizona (CHL) and was traded by Phoenix (NHL) to Montreal (NHL) in mid-season and was then assigned to the Cyclones.
