Barlow Returns to Idaho

BOISE, ID - ECHL All-Star MVP Evan Barlow, a former Cornell standout, has been returned to the Idaho Steelheads, head coach Derek Laxdal announced Tuesday.

Barlow registered four points (one goal, three assists) in eight games with the Abbotsford Heat after being loaned to the American Hockey League team on February 4. He has 48 points (23 goals, 25 assists) in 37 games with Idaho, including a team-best 13 power-play goals. The 24-year-old Alberta native had two goals and two assists in the ECHL All Star game in January to take home most valuable player honors.

"It's another proven goal-scorer in our lineup," Laxdal said. "Evan got a good taste of what the AHL is all about and now he'll come back here and work his tail off to help us win games."
