Monday, Mar. 15th, 2010

ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Anaheim Ducks announced today that the National Hockey League (NHL) club has recalled left wing Kyle Calder from the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League (AHL).

Calder, 31 (1/5/79), appeared in 14 contests with Anaheim this season, collecting two assists (0-2=2) with eight penalty minutes (PIM). He tallied his first point as a Duck on Nov. 25 vs. Carolina in a 3-2 Anaheim win. He was assigned to Toronto on Dec. 30. With the Marlies, Calder scored 11-13=24 points in 31 games, including three goals (3-1=4) in his last two contests. A native of Manville, Alberta, Calder signed a one-year contract with Anaheim on Oct. 28 and was assigned to Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL. He scored 3-3=6 points in five games with the Condors this season. Calder attended the Ducks’ 2009 Training Camp on a tryout basis in September.

Originally selected by Chicago in the fifth round (130th overall) of the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, Calder has played 10 NHL seasons with the Blackhawks (1999-06), Philadelphia Flyers (2006-07), Detroit Red Wings (2006-07), Los Angeles Kings (2007-09) and Ducks (2009-10). In 590 career NHL games, he has collected 114-180=294 points with 309 PIM. During his career, Calder has recorded two 20-goal seasons (2003-04 and 2005-06) and twice appeared in 80-plus games in a single season (2001-02 and 2002-03). In the 2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Calder appeared in a career-high 13 games with Detroit before falling to Anaheim in the Western Conference Finals.
