Southaven, Miss. -- The Mississippi RiverKings have acquired forward Jeff Topilko from the Pensacola Ice Flyers for future considerations. Terms and conditions were not released.

"We're excited to have Jeff here in Southaven," Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Derek Landmesser said. "He brings a lot of offensive upside to the table. I'm looking forward to him wearing the RiverKings' uniform for the rest of the season."

The rookie from Vegreville, Alberta had 11 points in 13 games with the Ice Flyers this season.

To make room on the roster for Topilko, the RiverKings have released forward Brendan Baumgartner.

"We thank Brandon for all his hard work and we wish him all the best," said Landmesser.

In 11 games with the RiverKings this season, Baumgartner had one goal and one assist and was +2.
