Winnipeg Jets‘ 7th year defenseman Cameron Schilling(6) gets another crack at the big league in more than three and a half years since his last visit, when he got in 4 games with his first contract club, Washington Capitals.

In his return, he skated 18 shifts for 13:15 of ice time recording his first NHL point, an assist, had two play breakups, one giveaway and was a -1 rating in a 6-5 win.

He had a career year last season for affiliate Manitoba Moose scoring 6 goals and 26 assists for 32 points with a +25 rating in 71 AHL games, then added another 4 points (2-2) in 9 playoff games.

The 30-year old spent a pair of seasons in Chicago Blackhawks system before coming further north and looks like he could settle into a more permanent spot on the big league roster.

Cameron Schilling (6)

Washington Capitals‘ undrafted rookie defenseman Cameron Schilling(6) was recalled for his first NHL action.

He skated 11 shifts for a conservative 11:58 total ice time in the team’s 4-0 smack down.

In 54 AHL games with affiliate Hershey Bears, he has 6 goals and 8 assists with a +7 rating, playing in all types of game situations. He also appeared in 7 regular season (no points) and 4 Calder Cup Playoff games (2 goals) signed to an ato at the conclusion of his college playing career.

The 6’2″ 205 lbs. blue liner is signed through 2014 on a two-year entry level deal.

Although not selected, the 24-year old came as a highly touted defensive specialist with the potential to contribute points on the scoresheet.

It’s unlikely that he’ll spend much more than this season in the minors.
