INDIANAPOLIS - The Indy Fuel, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks and the AHL's Rockford IceHogs, announced Saturday that goaltender Cody Reichard was returned to the Fuel from his recent loan to the AHL's Chicago Wolves.

A standout collegiate netminder at Miami University from 2008 to 2012, Reichard did not appear in a game for the Wolves in his most recent AHL assignment, but served as Chicago's backup goaltender in the Wolves' 4-1 road loss vs. the Milwaukee Admirals on Wednesday and Chicago's 4-3 road win vs. Rockford on Friday.
