December 26, 2015 - ECHL (ECHL)
Evansville IceMen News Release


EVANSVILLE, IN - The Evansville IceMen, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Ottawa Senators and AHL's Binghamton Senators, and Head Coach Al Sims announced Saturday that Ottawa has recalled defenseman Troy Rutkowski and reassigned him to Binghamton.

The 23-year-old from Edmonton led the IceMen with 14 assists in 26 games, and has been particularly efficient as of late. Rutkowski has two goals and ten assists in his last nine games, and set a single-game career high with four assists in Evansville's 6-5 overtime loss December 6 against Quad City.

Rutkowski started the season in Binghamton's AHL training camp, before he was reassigned October 6 to Evansville, where he played most of 2014-15. The 2010 fifth round pick of the Colorado Avalanche has played in 121 ECHL games and 27 AHL games in his three professional seasons.
