Yevgeny Pavlov Sent To Toledo
October 4, 2002 - ECHL (ECHL)
Toledo Walleye News Release
(Toledo, Ohio) The Toledo Storm of the East Coast Hockey League today announced that forward, Yevgeny Pavlov, has been reassigned by the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League to the Storm. It is expected that Pavlov will join the Storm later this week.
Pavlov, 6'1/200 (21), is about to embark upon his second season of North American pro hockey. Last year, he scored 17 goals and added 14 assists in 54 games with the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL. Three of those goals came against the Storm. On October 21, 2001, Pavlov scored a pair of goals in a 3-2 win for the Cyclones over Toledo in Cincinnati's Firstar Center. That was one of three two goal performances he had over the course of the season. Pavlov also had a multiple point performance against the Storm on February 16, 2002, when he scored a goal and assisted on another in a 4-3 win for Cincinnati in the Firstar Center. In that game, Pavlov's assist came on Don Biggs' game-tying goal, which was scored when Biggs redirected Allan Egeland 's "Hail Mary" out of the left wing corner with just 6 seconds remaining to send it to overtime and (ultimately) the shootout, where the Cyclones completed the comeback. Pavlov also scored a goal in Cincinnati's final game last season, a 4-3 victory over the Wheeling Nailers, which propelled the Cyclones into the ECHL playoffs over Wheeling.
Pavlov's play last season earned him three separate call-ups to Milwaukee where he played a total of seven games under current Storm Head Coach and Director of Player Personnel, Claude Noel, who was an assistant with the Admirals last season under Head Coach, Dave Allison. In his first AHL game, on October 31, 2001, Pavlov racked up two assists against the Grand Rapids Griffins. In his final game in the AHL last year, Pavlov scored the game winning goal in the Admirals' 4-1 victory over the Cleveland Barons on March 23, 2002.
Regarding Pavlov, Noel stated, "Yevgeny put up solid numbers in his North American debut last year. He'll be pushed this season to uphold and surpass those standards. Yevgeny has good speed and quality skills with the puck, so he should be able to contribute to our club. Our goal as a team this year is to ensure that our forwards work together as a solid unit, and Yevgeny will be expected to apply his skills within that framework."
