(Rochester, NY)... Rochester Americans Vice President of Hockey Operations Ted Nolan announced today that the Florida Panthers have reassigned defenseman Keaton Ellerby to the Amerks. Ellerby is scheduled to meet the team in Cleveland later today.
Ellerby, 22, returns to the Amerks after earning his third promotion to the National Hockey League this season, where he has four assists and six penalty minutes in 17 games with the Panthers. A native of Strathmore, Alberta, Ellerby recorded his first NHL point and multi-point game with two assists in Florida's 4-3 win over the New York Islanders on October 23rd earlier this year.
