Nope Honzek only played 2 games at center and they moved him back to LW. IIRC

He's 20 (by a couple months). At better than .5 ppg in the AHL.

He's actually doing quite well for his age.

I was just going to say the same. 0.5ppg for a 20 year old is good for the A. It would be way better if he was producing at a higher clip but he doesn't get top line minutes on the Wranglers, that goes to Hunt and Bishop and the other vets.

He also missed almost all of last year so to take a step up into a new league and produce at the rate he's currently at is a good sign.

Hopefully he goes on a bit of a run to end the year ala Stromgren last season and we see a new level in his play.

Watching Honzek this year has been a change, you can see him trying to insert himself into more opportunities as the season progresses, where prior it almost seemed as though he was not comfortable or afraid to cause a turn over or be out of position.

Jan.21st:

Wranglers get whooped, 6-1 by the Ontario Reign. They are still on top of the AHL standings by 2 points, but the second-place team (Hershey) has 2 games in hand, and Rochester is 5 points behind the Wranglers with 3 games in hand.

David Silye (Klapka, Poirier) was the goal.

Murphy (2-2-0-0, with a 4.14 GAA, and a .881 SV%) stops 21 of 26 in 2 periods of play, before being replaced by Ignatjew (8-4-1-0, with a 3.72 GAA, and a .880 SV%) who stops 6 of 7 in the 3rd period.
