STOCKTON, Calif. - The Stockton Thunder, the ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers and American Hockey League's Springfield Falcons, has announced rookie right wing David Rohlfs (WRALL-fs) has been recalled from the Thunder to Springfield and right wing Spencer Carbery has been activated off the seven-day injured reserve list.
