Predators recall Ryan Ellis from Milwaukee

As had been rumored after the Milwaukee Admirals game on Sunday, Ryan Ellis has now been officially recalled by the Nashville Predators.

An additional move will provably need to be made once Andrei Kostitsyn and Paul Gaustad arrive in Nashville as the Ellis move appears to put them over the 23 man roster limit.

Make the jump for the full release for the Predators...



NASHVILLE PREDATORS RECALL RYAN ELLIS FROM MILWAUKEE

Nashville, Tenn. (February 27, 2012) – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has recalled defenseman Ryan Ellis from Milwaukee (AHL).
