Predators Make It Official, Cal O"Reilly Recalled

As reported by Admirals Short Shifts on Sunday, Cal O'Reilly is returning to Nashville for Tuesday's game. With Joel Ward and Marcel Goc iffy for Tuesday's game with Columbus, this will give the Preds at least 20 healthy players for the contest.

Colin Wilson was also rumored to be recalled but it appears that it is not happening, yet.

Here is the full release from the Predators...

Cal O'Reilly Sent Back to Milwaukee

After his best stint this season with the Predators this season having three assists in four games, Cal O'Reilly will return to the Milwaukee Admirals in time to play with the Ads against Manitoba tonight. I can't imagine what that travel schedule looked like.

O'Reilly Reassigned to Milwaukee

Not surprisingly, Cal O'Reilly has been reassigned to Milwaukee. With the return of Dave Scatachard last night, the Preds were at the roster maximum of 23 and had too many centers.

O'Reilly did pick up an assist in the game against Minnesota last Saturday for his first point of the year.

The elevator ride continues between Milwaukee and Nashville with Cal O'Reilly being returned to Milwaukee this afternoon. I am assuming that this means that Martin Erat's "lower body injury" has resolved.
