He played nearly 11 minutes in that contest, but spent the next six games as a healthy scratch. He returned to the lineup for Anaheim\u2019s Jan. 29 game against the Vancouver Canucks before returning to the press box for the team\u2019s game last night. In nine NHL games this season, Colangelo has one goal for one point.<\/p>\n<p>After last season, it looked as though Colangelo was well on his way towards carving out a more regular NHL role. Last year was Colangelo\u2019s first full campaign of pro hockey, and he played very well, producing 40 points in 40 AHL games and 10 goals for 12 points in 32 NHL games.<\/p>\n<p>But as the Ducks upgraded their roster and replaced Greg Cronin with Joel Quenneville behind the bench, Colangelo found landing a spot in the Ducks\u2019 NHL lineup a tougher task than last season. He\u2019s likely to end this year with fewer NHL games played than last season, and while he certainly hasn\u2019t taken a big developmental leap forward, he remains under contract for another season and figures to remain a high-level depth piece for the Ducks moving forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Anaheim Ducks announced today that forward Sam Colangelo has been reassigned to the team\u2019s AHL affiliate, the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137125,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,824,165,164,2103],"class_list":{"0":"post-161171","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-anaheim","8":"tag-anaheim","9":"tag-anaheim-ducks","10":"tag-anaheim-headlines","11":"tag-anaheim-news","12":"tag-sam-colangelo"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
