After starting the season on a pto with Portand Pirates, the team he spent most of last season with, 5th year undrafted wing Igor Gongalsky(22) was released and signed an ECHL contract with their affiliate Gwinnett Gladiators.
In 13 AHL games he only registered an assist, but in 5 games with Gwinnett he already has a goal and a pair of helpers.
He’s played most of his pro career in AA hockey (almost 200 games with four different teams) but he’s really a player on the cusp of the higher league.
Maybe he’s just a bit of a late bloomer considering he’s only 25 years old.
12/21: Gongalsky signs a pto with Rochester Americans.
