Springfield Thunderbirds News Release
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The Springfield Thunderbirds announced today that they have signed forward Matt Luff to an AHL contract for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.
A native of Oakville, Ont., the 27-year-old Luff began the season with the Charlotte Checkers on a professional tryout, where he posted four points (2g, 2a) in six games. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound winger brings 335 games of professional experience to the Thunderbirds, including 106 NHL games with the Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators, and Detroit Red Wings. In those 106 NHL games, Luff posted 27 points (15g, 12a).
In 229 AHL games, Luff has accumulated 167 points (69g, 98a) over parts of nine seasons. Luff's best professional season came with the Milwaukee Admirals in 2021-22, when he put up 31 points (14g, 17a) in just 30 games before skating in 23 games with the club's NHL affiliate in Nashville.
The T-Birds look to carry the momentum of their School Day win on Wednesday onto the road for two games in Hershey against the two-time defending Calder Cup champion Bears. Puck drop from the Giant Center is set for 7:00 p.m on Saturday and 3:00 p.m. on Sunday for the back-to-back set.
