The 29-year-old will be making his second trip to the AHL this season; with the Admirals in 2013-14, Crowder has logged five games and has posted a pair of assists.

Shalla, Nashville's fourth-round selection in the 2011 NHL Draft, has been an offensive mainstay for the Cyclones over the past two seasons. He's accumulated 52 points (31g, 21a) in 59 games with Cincinnati - and ranks eighth on the team this season in overall offense.
