Ducks reassign Comtois to junior

The Anaheim Ducks are returning forward Maxime Comtois to the Drummondville Voltigeurs, the QMJHL club announced Saturday.

Comtois had been on a conditioning stint with the AHL's San Diego Gulls since Nov. 12. He opened the season with the Ducks and notched seven points in 10 games.

Due to his age and CHL status, he's not permitted to remain in the AHL for more than the 14-day conditioning period, so he had to be recalled to Anaheim or reassigned to junior by Monday.

Comtois potted one goal in four games while rehabbing with the Gulls. He last played at the NHL level on Oct. 23 in the Ducks' 3-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.

The 19-year-old spent three years in the QMJHL with the Victoriaville Tigres, racking up 44 goals and 85 points in 54 games last season.
