Anaheim Ducks‘ 9th year center Brian Street(15) was recently sent to affiliate San Diego Gulls for a single AHL appearance and recalled after playing a career high 21 NHL games scoring new best 3 goals and 2 assists.
Not shabby for a now 31-year old small pivot that that started his pro career with Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL.
It’s possibly he’s just being sent down to wake up his scoring but the former University Of Wisconsin captain has had one heck of a ride and is on a 2nd one-way contract for a first time.
Ben Street (10)
2nd year, undrafted center Ben Street(10) showed in his rookie season what he is capable of in 74 games with WBS Penguins and their ECHL affiliate, Wheeling Nailers putting up combined totals of 36 goals and 38 assists.
Entering the 2011/2012 he was signed to a one-year AHL contract.
In 12 games, he’s on a recent tear with 2 goals and 8 assists (8 of those points coming in 3 games last weekend), which was good enough to earn him AHL Player of the Week.
Despite only playing half the season with Wheeling last year, he was named ECHL Rookie Of The Year. I think he will eventually be signed by Pittsburgh Penguins.
