Szydlowski, 23, may see his first action this season with the Komets. The winger made his pro debut skating four games with Portland in the AHL during 2010-11 after completing four seasons of OHL play with Erie. Szydlowski played the majority of his rookie season with Rochester (53gp, 8a, 21pim) in 2011-12 and appeared in a six-game stint with Gwinnett in his only ECHL action to date. Last season the St. Clair Shores, Michigan native scored 10 goals and 26 points in 45 CHL games with Fort Worth. Szydlowski also skated seven games with Rochester. Szydlowski has accumulated totals of eight assists and 25 penalty minutes in 62 career AHL games.
