The parade of Kitchener Rangers heading on to professional leagues since season’s end continued on Monday as Francesco Arcuri has been reassigned to the Texas Stars by the Dallas Stars.
The 19-year-old was a midseason acquisition by Kitchener, who finished 10th on the OHL scoring list after netting 48 goals while seeing up 43 others.
Arcuri is the fifth Ranger to have been called up to the NHL or AHL since Kitchener was knocked out of the playoffs by the London Knights.
Danny Zhilkin and Roman Schmidt were also recalled by their NHL clubs and shipped to the Manitoba Moose and Syracuse Crunch respectively.
Meanwhile, Francesco Pinelli was recalled by the Los Angeles Kings last week and was with the team (but did not suit up) when they were eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night.
Finally, netminder Marco Constatini has been given a tryout deal with the Vancouver Canucks’ AHL affiliate in Abbotsford B.C.
