Oilers Recall Stortini; Reassign Jacques

[Thrillhouse]

The Edmonton Oilers have recalled right winger Zack Stortini from the Hamilton Bulldogs of the American Hockey League and assigned left winger Jean-Francois Jacques to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

The 6’3”, 215-pound native of Elliot Lake, Ontario has scored 9-6-15 with 172 PIM and is +1 in 44 games with Hamilton this season. He has scored 1-0-1 with 35 PIM in 12 games with Edmonton.

Jacques began the season with Edmonton and has split the season between the Oilers and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. The Oilers third choice (2nd round) in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, was scoreless with 19 penalty minutes in 22 games with Edmonton this season.

With Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Jacques has scored 9-15-24 in 22 games with the AHL Penguins. Three of his nine goals have been scored on the powerplay and he is +5 with 34 penalty minutes.

I guess that's Jacques reward for winning a fight?



I think this was just to get Stortini into the lineup in case Boogy runs around all night again...

Well regardless of the end result, I hope Stortini and Boogey clash!
