WHEELING, WV – The Greenville Road Warriors announced today that goalie Brian Stewart has been reassigned to the Adirondack Phantoms of the American Hockey League.
Stewart was reassigned to the Road Warriors from the Phantoms on November 19 and appeared in three games for the Road Warriors. The rookie out of Northern Michigan University is 2-1-0 with the Road Warriors with a save percentage of .918 and a goals-against average of 2.68. He heads back to the AHL having won his last two starts for the Road Warriors including a 33-save performance on November 26 at Kalamazoo. Prior to joining the Road Warriors, Stewart appeared in four games with Adirondack. With the addition of Stewart there are four former Road Warriors skating with the Phantoms: Stewart, Nic Riopel, Cullen Eddy, and Shane Harper.
Following Stewart’s reassignment to Adirondack the Road Warriors added Bryan Blawut as an emergency backup goaltender.
Additionally, the Road Warriors announced today that forward Igor Gongalsky has been loaned to the Portland Pirates of the AHL. Gongalsky was loaned to the Pirates immediately after the Road Warriors’ 6-2 win in Kalamazoo on November 26.

Gongalsky was held without a point.
