Sharp recalled; Koivu, Carter to IR.
Center MacGregor Sharp has been recalled from the Bakersfield Condors, the Ducks' ECHL affiliate, while centers Saku Koivu and Ryan Carter have been placed on injured reserve retroactive to their last appearance -- Nov. 11 for Carter and Nov. 7 for Koivu.
The 24-year-old Sharp ranked second on the Condors in points (14) and first in assists (10) through 15 games at the time of his recall. Signed as an undrafted free agent to a two-year entry-level contract on Mar. 31, Sharp finished tied for fourth in the nation last season with 50 points (26 goals) in 43 games with the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
Sharp also ranked second in the country in goals.
Koivu has been battling a groin injury, while Carter is recovering from a bruised foot. Both would be eligible to play tomorrow against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
