Portland Pirates: Geoff Platt, we hardly knew ye

Surprising absolutely nobody -- at least judged solely by his play through the first third of the season -- Portland Pirates center Geoff Platt got the call on Tuesday.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks recalled Platt, a 5-foot-9, 175-pound Toronto native, has 41 games of NHL experience on his resume with Columbus.

In just 9 games with the Pirates after being acquired via a trade last month, Platt, 22, was Portland's dominant offensive player, posting 7 goals and 9 assists. Including his time in Syracuse earlier this season, he has 11-12--23 totals to tie him for 13 in the overall AHL scoring race.
Platt's posted modest totals of 4-10-14 in NHL games.
