Bengtsberg activated from Injured Reserve, will dress in Quad City tonight.

  

The Evansville IceMen, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Ottawa Senators, and Head Coach Al Sims announced Wednesday that the AHL’s Binghamton Senators have recalled goaltender Scott Greenham for the second time this season. The IceMen also activated goalie Christoffer Bengtsberg from Injured Reserve.

 

This comes one day after Evansville signed defenseman Chris Joseph Tuesday to bolster a depleted corps on the blue line. The Levittown, NY native suited up in 20 games this season for the Huntsville Havoc of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL).

 

Greenham  returns to Binghamton, where he spent nearly a month from November 16-December 10. The Ottawa, ON native appeared in two games for the BSens during his AHL stint, and stopped 20 of 25 shots in 61 minutes of action.

 

He will return to Binghamton indefinitely, after goaltender Matt O’Connor suffered an injury in the BSens 2-1 shootout win Tuesday against Lehigh Valley. Greenham posted a record of 4-3-1-0 in eight games with the IceMen, with a goals-against average of 2.88 and a 91.1 save percentage.

 

Bengtsberg had been on Injured Reserve since November 16, after suffering a lower body injury in Evansville’s 4-2 loss November 15 at Wheeling. The Stockholm, Sweden native started seven consecutive games from November 1-15, and posted a 2-4-0-0 record in that span. He has a 2.48 goal-against average and 91.4 save percentage in his first season of pro hockey in North America.
