Undrafted 5th year defenseman Jake Newton(17) has played AHL games in each of his three seasons on this side of the pond.
The pretty sizable 6’3″ 200 lbs. offensive-minded blue liner had a real solid showing through 18 games (2 goals, 6 assists) with a very young Bridgeport Sound Tigers‘ team.
Once again though, he splits for Italy, moving it up a notch with Gherdeina of Italy’s top league Serie A.
