Indy Fuel News Release
INDIANAPOLIS - The Indy Fuel, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks and the AHL's Rockford IceHogs, announced Friday that goaltender Cody Reichard has been returned to the Fuel following his recent loan to the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL. In two AHL assignments this season, Reichard has yet to appear in a game for the Griffins or the Chicago Wolves.
The most called-upon goaltender for the Fuel so far this season, Reichard has posted a team-best 5-6-1-1 record in 15 appearances for Indy in 2014-15 with a 3.35 goals-against average (GAA) and a .889 save percentage (S%). In seven career AHL appearances, the 5'11", 165 lb. Celina, Ohio native went 4-2-1 for the Houston Aeros and Iowa Wild over the course of the past two seasons with a combined save percentage of .911. In response to Reichard's reassignment, the Fuel also announced Friday that they've released emergency backup goaltender Jordan Tibbett.
