Eric Tangredi(25) spent the first 9 games of the season in Pittsburgh scoring 1 goal to go along with 1 assist. He was assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in late October, has played 7 games and has 1 goal and 1 assist. He should be at least a point a game player in the AHL this season.

Marlies rookie netminder from Finland, Jussi Rynnas(35) backstopped his first professional hockey win in four tries, a 4-0 shut out vs. Hartford Wolf Pack, Tuesday, November 9 at the XL Center.
