Both Patrick Maroon and Devante Smith-Pelly, recently called up from Norfolk, will be in the #NHLDucks lineup tonight.
With the Ducks benching a lot of their star players to rest them for the playoffs, Smith-Pelly will play in his sixth game this season. He has yet to record a point this season.
The Ducks have recalled right wing Devante Smith-Pelly, goaltender Frederik Andersen and left wing Patrick Maroon from the Norfolk Admirals.
Smith-Pelly, 20 (6/14/92), has appeared in five contests with Anaheim this season, going scoreless while averaging 7:59 time-on-ice. The 6-0, 225-pound winger played 65 contests with the Admirals this season, scoring 14-18=32 points with 65 penalty minutes (PIM).
Devante Smith-Pelly will be in the Ducks' lineup tonight against Tampa Bay.
Smith-Pelly gets into his first NHL game since December 8th. The rookie scored three goals and five points before injuring himself in the World Juniors.
Per Boudreau: Devante Smith-Pelly, now back w/ the #NHLDucks in PIT, will not play tonight, but will play later on in the road trip.
Smith-Pelly is back from his conditioning assignment and should be an option for the Ducks moving forward. The rookie has three goals and five points through 26 games.
Check that: I should say that Smith-Pelly has returned to the Ducks. Didn't mean Anaheim.
