Defending ECHL Scoring Champ and MVP
HARTFORD, CT: Connecticut Whale general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the Whale has recalled forward Tyler Donati from the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL.
This will be the second stint for Donati with the Whale, who signed the fourth-year pro to an AHL contract October 21.

In 17 games with the Jackals, the 5-10, 180-pound Oakville, Ontario native has rung up 10 goals and 11 assists for 21 points and has 34 penalty minutes.
Last season with Elmira, Donati was the ECHL’s leading scorer and MVP, with 38 goals and 76 assists for 114 points in 67 games.
The Whale are back in home-ice action at the XL Center tomorrow night, Tuesday, January 25, entertaining the arch-rival Providence Bruins in a 7:00 game. The Whale are offering a special “Two for Tuesday” deal for that game, two $12 upper-level seats for the price of one.
The Whale are also on home ice this Friday, January 28 against the Manchester Monarchs and Saturday, January 29 vs. Head Coach Kevin Dineen and the Portland Pirates. Both of those games face off at 7:00.
