The 2003 New York Ranger fifth-round pick (149th overall) is currently on recall to the Rangers, and has also skated in 22 games with the Rangers this season, contributing five goals and one assist for six points.
In 166 career AHL games with the Wolf Pack, Dawes has netted 76 goals and added 85 assists for 161 points. The Western Hockey League product has suited up for 30 career NHL contests and posted numbers of six goals and one assist for seven points.
The Wolf Pack are back in action this Friday night, January 11th, starting a three-game road trip with a contest in Norfolk vs. the Admirals (7:15 PM faceoff). The Pack and Norfolk battle again Saturday evening (7:15), before the Wolf Pack move on to Hershey for a 5:00 date with the Bears on Sunday.
