Sioux Falls Stampede News Release


Sioux Falls, SD-Former Stampede forward Brad Malone has been recalled by the Colorado Avalanche and is expected to make his NHL debut tonight when the Avalanche travel to Edmonton, Alberta to face the Oilers. Malone was a fourth round draft pick of the Avalanche in 2007.

If he suites up, he will become the 15th former Stampede player to skate in the National Hockey League and the fourth player this season to make his debut. Ryan Thang, Corey Tropp and Joe Finley made their debuts this season.

Malone was skating with Colorado's top affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League (AHL) in Cleveland, Ohio. Malone is fifth on the team in scoring with 13 points (4g, 9a) in 24 games before getting called up. Brad's cousin, Ryan Malone, plays for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Miramichi, New Brunswick native spent the 2006-07 season with the Stampede. He was a key member of the Stampede's Clark Cup championship team, posting 33 points (14g, 19a) in 57 games. He tallied four points in the playoffs, including the overtime game-winner against Tri-City that put the Herd into the USHL Final Four in Waterloo.

Malone went on to play four seasons at the University of North Dakota before signing with the Avalanche and the end of last season.

The Stampede return to action tonight when they host the Lincoln Stars at 7:05 PM at the Sioux Falls Arena.
