Alaska Aces Press Release
Anchorage, AK - The Alaska Aces placed defensemen Zack Fitzgerald and forwards Kimbi Daniels and John-Scott Dickson on injured reserve on their final roster submitted for the ECHL deadline at 3:00 p.m. EST, then added forward Konstantin Zakharov late this afternoon.
Daniels underwent shoulder surgery today and could miss up to five months, leading to his placement on the 30-day injured reserve list. Fitzgerald and Dickson will go on the seven-day IR and miss the season-opening series against San Diego, which begins Friday at 7:15 p.m. on GCI Magnetic Schedule Night at Sullivan Arena. The three-game set continues Saturday at 2:05 p.m. with KeyBank Autograph Book Day and wraps up with a special edition of "Monday Night Hockey" at the Sully, with the face-off scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
The 6-1, 200-pound Zakharov, a native of Minsk, Belarus, will practice with the team tomorrow and could be in the lineup Friday. He will suit up for the Aces under a National Hockey League contract with the St. Louis Blues, who selected him in the third round of the 2003 draft. The 20-year-old Zakharov scored four goals and assisted on 10 others in 59 games as a rookie with Worcester in the AHL last year. He gained notice by scoring 33 goals in only 55 games during the 2003-04 regular season for Moncton (QMJHL), then added seven goals and nine assists in 20 playoff contests.
