Artem Demkov Returns To Elmira
ELMIRA, N.Y. - January 29, 2014 - The Elmira Jackals announced today that forward Artem Demkov has been loaned to the team from the Albany Devils of the American Hockey League.
Demkov returns to Elmira after posting six goals and 11 points in his first career AHL stint with Albany.

Demkov, 24, recorded 11 points (6 goals, 5 assists) and a plus-6 rating in 22 AHL games with Albany. He earned his first promotion to the AHL on December 3 when he was loaned to the Devils on a professional tryout. Albany then signed Demkov to a standard player contract on December 13. He attended training camp with Albany this year but started the season in Elmira. He led the Jackals in scoring with 10 goals and 12 points in 17 games at the time of his call up. The Minsk, Belarus native scored in his first AHL game on December 4 against Springfield. The winger also strung together a five-game point streak (3 goals, 2 assists) from January 10-18 with the Devils.  

 

Demkov has joined the Jackals in Elmira and is expected to be in the lineup tonight against Kalamazoo. 


Mark your calendars! The Jackals return to home ice on Wednesday, January 29 to take on the Kalamazoo Wings. It's a Willowcreek Wednesday where some lucky fans will compete at first intermission to win free golf from Willowcreek Golf Club. Don't forget that groups of 10 or more who book in advance receive discounts off the box office price and preferred seating based on availability. Call 607-734-7825 to get your group outing booked.
