From the Nashville Predators:

Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has recalled forward Jed Ortmeyer from the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League.

Ortmeyer, 30 (9/3/78), has 23 points (10g-13a) in 55 games since joining the Admirals on Dec. 3, 2008 – he missed the first 24 games of the season due to a knee injury sustained in Nashville’s game against Dallas on Feb. 23, 2008, his last NHL game played. In 2007-08 – his first season with the Predators – the Omaha, Neb., native played in 51 games, recording four goals and four assists.

an emergency call up till Pihlstrom or Jones returns? Or is he sticking you think?

My guess is that they have reason to believe that neither Pihlstrom or Jones will be ready to go tomorrow night. Unless he shows something far different than what he brought the team last year, I can’t imagine he’d stay after one or two of the injury situations gets resolved.

More fun than a stick to the face!
