Chris Wagner News

Wagner, 23, has no points in three games with the Ducks this season. While in Norfolk he has collected 28 points (15G / 13A) in 48 games.

Wagner was sent down yesterday to make himself eligible for the AHL playoffs if need be. He has been recalled but is expected to serve as a healthy scratch in tonight’s contest.

Wagner played 10:35 on Friday, the only action he saw during his recall. His return to the AHL makes room for Tomas Fleischmann as well as suggests that Nate Thompson should be back in the lineup tonight.

Wagner did not get into a game with the Ducks during his recall. He heads back to the AHL where he has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 14 games with Norfolk.

Wagner, 23, had two goals in the first two AHL games of the season. He is coming off of a season where he had 28 points (14G / 14A) in 76 games.

Wagner, 23, was the 122nd overall pick in the 2010 draft and has never played an NHL game. Wagner got off to a blistering pace in the AHL this season, scoring four goals in two games. There is no word if Wagner will make his NHL debut during the Ducks' home opener on Friday.

Wagner just finished his second season at Colgate University, scoring 17 goals and 51 points in 38 games.
