Finally, Shawn Szydlowski has been called up to the AHL, to Binghamton, but Pat Nagle has been returned to the Komets from Rochester.

I really wish they wouldn't call this an all-star game. It's NOT an all-star game, it's a prospect game. Call it the ECHL Prospects Game, don't lie to the people buying tickets.
And, no, the Komets are not interested in hosting the all-star game.
