Overview
- The 26-year-old center joins from Lukko Rauma after a 40-point Liiga season and 161 AHL games, and he is set to wear No. 13.
- Berlin reportedly issued a ninth Ausländerlizenz to register the US forward.
- He was expected to land in the city on Thursday, with a Friday debut against Straubing considered unlikely pending registration.
- The move follows a weekend with six regulars out through injuries or suspensions and heavy defeats at Mannheim (1:7) and Bremerhaven (1:5).
- Coach Serge Aubin said defenseman Markus Niemeläinen is on track for a return, while Ty Ronning’s status remains uncertain.
