INDIANAPOLIS - The Indy Fuel, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks and the AHL's Rockford IceHogs, announced Thursday that goaltender Ãtienne Marcoux has signed a professional tryout contract (PTO) with the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. The Penguins begin a three-game swing through the Midwest on Friday, including a visit to Rockford on Saturday night.
Marcoux, 24, has a 16-11-1 record in 30 appearances for the Fuel this season, alongside a 3.07 goals against average and a .917 save percentage.
