The Vancouver Canucks have recalled newly acquired defenceman Mark Friedman from AHL Abbotsford and sent fellow blue-liner Akito Hirose down to their top minor-league affiliate, the team announced Wednesday.
The Canucks acquired Friedman in a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday.
Friedman, 27, split the 2022-23 season between the Penguins and the AHL, registering a goal and two assists for three points in 23 NHL games. At the AHL level, the right-shot defenceman had one goal and five assists for six points in 24 games.
In 65 career NHL games with Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, the five-foot-11, 185-pound defenceman has four goals and eight assists for 12 points.
Hirose signed with the Canucks in March after three years playing college hockey at Minnesota State. He played seven games with Vancouver last season and two this year.
