DeVergillio assigned to Idaho by AHL's Texas Stars

(Boise, ID) ? Idaho Steelheads head coach Derek Laxdal announced Monday afternoon that forward Kevin DeVergillio has been assigned to Idaho by the Texas Stars. Texas is Idaho?s American Hockey League affiliate. The two franchises are the primary development affiliates of the NHL?s Dallas Stars. DeVergillio has skated in eight games with the AHL club, tallying one assist and 12 penalty minutes. The 23-year-old centerman made his professional debut last spring with the ECHL?s Las Vegas Wranglers, scoring two goals and adding two assists in just two games. Prior to his professional debut, he averaged nearly a point per game for Saint Lawrence University (31 points in 34 games) during the 2008-2009 season. The Michigan native finished his four-year college career with 42 goals. DeVergillio will meet the team in West Valley City, UT, in time for games on Wednesday and Friday against the Utah Grizzlies. Roster Notes: Forward Matt McKnight has been placed on the 3-Day Injured Reserve and defenseman Aaron MacKenzie has left the team to play professionally in Czechoslovakia. The Steelheads return home Saturday, November 7, to host the aforementioned Grizzlies.
