BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – The Ottawa Senators announced today that the club has reassigned forward Gabriel Gagne and defenseman Macoy Erkamps to the Binghamton Senators from the club’s ECHL affiliate, the Wichita Thunder.
Gagne, 20, has seven points (three goals, four assists) in 14 games played with the Thunder. A native of Laval, Que., Gagne was drafted by Ottawa in the second round (36th overall) in the 2015 NHL Draft.
