Andrew Martens, who has spent all of April with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies, is in the lineup for the Reign tonight for Game 5 of their first-round playoff series with Stockton.
Martens was released yesterday from his pro tryout agreement by Toronto after 18 games, including two in the Calder Cup playoffs. During the regular season he was the Reign’s fifth-leading scorer, and the leading scorer among defensemen, with 31 points (7 goals, 24 assists) despite playing just 48 of the team’s 73 games.
