The 27-year-old had at least one point in six of his seven games, including a pair of three-point games in October. He scored two goals and added an assist in a 5-4 win at Brampton on Oct. 23 and he picked up a goal and two assists in a 4-2 victory over Manchester on Oct. 24. Bordson also added a trio of three-point games. A native of Duluth, Minn., Bordson led the league with four power-play goals at the time of his recall and was leading the ECHL with 13 points.
