"General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that F Vasily Podkolzin has been assigned to Abbotsford (AHL)."
Podkolzin, 22, appeared in two games with Vancouver on the road trip, skating in 12:39 against the Anaheim Ducks and 9:17 against the Los Angeles Kings, but failed to record any points. Meanwhile, In 44 games with AHL Abbotsford, Podkolzin has 28 points (15 goals, 13 assists), 15 penalty minutes and has an even-rating.
