(Rochester, NY) – The Rochester Americans announced today that the team has recalled defenseman Brycen Martin from the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL.
Martin, 20, has registered three points (1+2) in 10 games with the Jackals to begin the 2016-17 campaign. The rookie defenseman recorded the first two points of his pro career as part of a two-assist effort against Brampton on Nov. 12 and scored his first pro goal a week later in a 5-3 loss to the Beast on Nov. 19. His three points currently rank third among all Elmira defensemen.
Last season, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound blueliner played in 66 contests in the Western Hockey League (WHL) for the Everett Silvertips and Saskatoon Blades, picking up 37 points (6+31) between the two clubs. He made his pro debut with the Amerks near the end of the 2014-15 season, appearing in three games. Martin was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the third round (74th overall) in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
