Labbe Reassigned to Mallards

November 22, 2016 - ECHL (ECHL)
Quad City Mallards News Release


MOLINE, Ill. - Defenseman Dylan Labbe has been reassigned by the National Hockey League's Minnesota Wild from the American Hockey League's Iowa Wild to the Quad City Mallards and Mallards defenseman Donnie Harris has been placed on 21-day injured reserve, the Mallards announced today.

Labbe, 21, has not played for Iowa this season after undergoing knee surgery in April. The 6-foot-2-inch, 195-pound St. Benjamin, Quebec, native scored four goals and added two assists in 54 games with the Wild as a rookie last year. Labbe also played briefly for Iowa at the end of the 2013-14 and 2014-15 campaigns. Labbe got his first taste of professional hockey when he scored his first career goal and recorded a pair of assists in 11 games with the Wild in the spring of 2014. A year later he played three late-season AHL games without recording a point.

Labbe, who was selected by Minnesota in the fourth round of the 2013 National Hockey League Entry Draft with the one hundred seventh overall choice, spent three full seasons and part of a fourth with the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Shawinigan Cataractes before turning pro. In 2014-15, Labbe finished tied for third among QMJHL defensemen in goals (15) and finished sixth among defensemen in points (51). He totaled 31 goals and 75 assists for 106 points in 193 career games with Shawinigan.

Harris, 26, has been placed on injured reserve after suffering an upper body injury in the Mallards' game Sunday against the Wheeling Nailers. Harris has scored two goals in 12 games with the Mallards this season.

The Mallards return to action on the road tomorrow night against the Cincinnati Cyclones. The Mallards next play at home Friday night at 7:05 p.m. against the Indy Fuel. The Mallards' match-up with the Fuel also brings the return of $2 Dog/$2 Beer Night presented by 97X. Fans can enjoy $2 hot dogs and beers from iWireless Center concession stands during every Friday Mallards home game.
