STOCKTON, Calif. - Left wing Liam Reddox, who played 70 games with the Stockton Thunder last season, made his National Hockey League debut with the Edmonton Oilers tonight against the St. Louis Blues.
Selected in the fourth round (112th overall) by Edmonton in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft and in his second professional season, the 5-foot-10 and 180-pound Reddox has 19 points (6g-13a) and a +6 rating in 22 games with the Springfield Falcons of the American Hockey League.
Last season, the 21-year old scored 26 points (8g-18a) with a +3 rating in 70 games with the Thunder, tallying 49 penalty minutes.
