Amerks Add Brodeur, Micflikier

A week after the ECHL's Augusta Lynx folded mid-season, the Rochester Americans have offered one of their players a professional try-out (PTO).

That player is goaltender Mike Brodeur.

Brodeur was a seventh round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks in 2003, but he's spent most of his career in the ECHL, with a total of 19 AHL games to his credit, going 6-7-0 with a saves percentage of around .890.

The other move was to recall Jacob Micflikier.

Micflikier had 6 points (1G, 5A) in 13 games with Rochester before being returned to the ECHL's Florida Everblades shortly before Thanksgiving. He caught fire immediately and now has 21 points (9G, 12A) in only eight games.

Rochester hosts the Iowa Chops tonight. Face-off is at 7:35.
