Springfield, Mass. - The Springfield Falcons announced on Monday that defenseman Austin Madaisky has been reassigned to the club by its NHL affiliate, the Columbus Blue Jackets, from its ECHL developmental team, the Evansville IceMen.

A native of Surrey, British Columbia, Madaisky spent the last four seasons in the WHL, totaling 113 points (29g-84a) in 238-career contests with the Kamloops Blazers and the Calgary Hitmen. The 21-year-old was selected by Columbus in the fifth round (124th overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
