The Riga, Latvia, native also established a franchise record and ranked first in the American Hockey League with a +47 plus/minus rating - the highest in the AHL since 1992-93 and the second time a Chicago player has led the league in that category - after posting a plus or even rating in 56 of his 66 outings. Overall, he has tallied 50 points (9G, 41A) in 173 career AHL outings with the Wolves.
MacINTYRE was recalled on Jan. 27 and backed up two games for the Thrashers.
