3rd year undrafted defenseman Dallas Jackson(2) just upped his pto to an spc with Bridgeport Sound Tigers, keeping him with the team through the remainder of the 2012/2013 season.
Although his numbers (two assists in 11 games) aren’t exactly stellar, he’s a fairly big presence in the defensive zone and with a -1 rating and only two penalty minutes shows accountability when he’s on the ice.
His numbers in juniors and in the last year and a half with Gwinnett Gladiators of the ECHL suggest that he can be an offensive-minded threat.
From 2011-2012, the 6’2″ 200 lbs. blue liner had 14 goals and 30 assists. He skated 9 games with them in his rookie campaign but registered zero points.
The 23-year old also played 3 games with the Sound Tigers last season and notched a +2 plus/minus in his short stint.
If he can continue to play impressively, there may be a full-time roster spot for him somewhere in the AHL next season.
