Troy Josephs Recalled to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton

WHEELING, WV- The Wheeling Nailers, proud ECHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins, have announced a transaction, which takes effect immediately. Forward Troy Josephs has been recalled by the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

Josephs, 24, spent one month with the Nailers, and was magnificent during that time, as he led the team with 12 goals, six assists, and 18 points in 13 games. Troy joined the team on October 27th in Reading, and made an immediate impact, posting a goal and an assist in Wheeling's first victory of the season. He went on to score multiple points five more times, including a hat trick in a 4-1 win at Jacksonville on November 16th. The AHL contracted forward made his way onto the scoresheet in ten of 13 games, and figured into the scoring of 18 of the club's 36 goals while he was in the lineup. Josephs' 12 goals are tied for second in the ECHL, and he was named Inglasco ECHL Player of the Week for the week of November 12-18. Troy has appeared in 18 career games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, tallying one goal and two assists.

The Nailers will take a quick trip to Kalamazoo for a 7:30 game on Tuesday, before returning to WesBanco Arena for a pair of games over the weekend. Friday night will be a Frosty Friday, as Wheeling hosts Indy at 7:05. Then, on Saturday, it's Nailers Fight Cancer Night, as Kalamazoo comes to town at 7:05. The next big promotional game is NailerMania on December 15th, starring WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley. Teddy Bear Toss and Ugly Sweater Night will also be part of that fun-filled night. Family Four Packs are available for NailerMania, thanks to WTRF - for $60, fans get four tickets, four hats, and four McDonald's Meal Vouchers. 2018 Holiday Packages are now available as well. The Wheeling Nailers, considered one of the top things to do in Wheeling, West Virginia, provide affordable family entertainment for fans throughout the Ohio Valley.
