Ottawa Calls Up Erik Condra From Binghamton

[Thrillhouse]

OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators today recalled forward Erik Condra from the club’s American Hockey League affiliate, the Binghamton Senators. This will be the first National Hockey League recall for the native of Trenton, Mich., who was Ottawa’s seventh-round pick (211th overall) in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

Condra, 24, is second on the B-Sens in scoring with 46 points on 17 goals, 29 assists. He has also recorded 28 penalty minutes and is a +19 in 54 games with the B-Sens this season. The goals and points totals have both surpassed his marks from his AHL rookie season in 2009-10, when he scored 11 goals and added 27 assists in 80 games.

Prior to joining Binghamton, Condra played four seasons with University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish, where he scored 48 goals and added 110 assists for 159 points in 159 career games. He served as team captain during his senior season at Notre Dame in 2008-09.

No surprise here. There are a lot of kids up with the big club at the moment, hopefully this means there is an impending deal to get rid of Kovalev. Condra deserves the call-up. I expect people to start whining about Locke again, though.

Cool name, but they´d more likely need Bondra.

Haha.. This is the Kid who got arrested for pissing on a Binghamton cop car.
I'm sure he'll fit right in.

Love it. But Locke is going to get a call up one day. Better now than next year. I don't want another Denis Hamel lighting up the lamp in the pre-season only to suck for the games that count.

I think you'll see the Sen's start to rotate as many young guys from the farm through the bigs as they can, to give em' a taste of the big show. Also to get a bit of a preview to see how some of these guys look in the bigs.

Got an assist from a nice pass in his first NHL game. Good for him.
