Ducks' Corey Tropp: Promoted to big club

The Ducks recalled Tropp from AHL San Diego on Wednesday.

Antoine Vermette was handed an automatic 10-game suspension Wednesday for making contact with an official, so Tropp will round out the Ducks' depth up front while Vermette is unavailable. Tropp has been highly productive in the minors this season, racking up 37 points (12 goals, 25 assists) in 42 games with AHL San Diego. The 27-year-old winger's first chance to crack the lineup will come Friday against the Panthers.
