Ducks assign Mikkelson to replace Wisniewski

The Ducks recalled defenseman Brendan Mikkelson from the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League. Mikkelson's recall comes after defenseman James Wisniewski suffered a sprained right shoulder in Saturday's game in Philadelphia. Mikkelson appeared in two games with the Marlies this season, collecting only 1 point. He played five preseason games with the Ducks last month, earning 1 point with four penalty minutes.

Selected in the second round of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, Mikkelson scored 2 points with 17 PIM in 34 games with the Ducks last season. He made his NHL debut on Jan. 2, 2009 against Philadelphia. Mikkelson began the 2008-09 regular season with Anaheim’s AHL affiliate, earning 10 points and 18 PIM in 31 games.
