DECEMBER 2017The Stars Alumni/Affiliate Report is a monthly recap of former and future

Stars players in the hockey world. The Stars Alumni/Affiliate Report is released once per month on LincolnStars.com.

First of Many...Forward Vinni Lettieri (‘11-’13) has made quite the stir this season with the Hartford Wolf Pack, and for that he was called-up to the New York Rangers to make his NHL debut on December 29 in Detroit. In his first career game, the Minnesota native scored his first NHL goal to put the Rangers up 2-1 despite falling in a shootout. The 22-year-old will remain with the club while the Rangers push through injuries. Lettieri led the Wolf Pack in goals, scoring 12 times in 31 games along with nine assists for 21 points.

World Junior Update...Both Stars alumni in the 2018 World Junior Championship in Buffalo, N.Y. are still competing when the semifinal round continues today. As of January 4, forward Ryan Poehling (‘15-’16) of Team U.S.A. and goaltender Josef Korenar (‘16-’17) of the Czech Republic will play on opposite sides of the bracket for a chance to medal. Poehling has two assists through five games played, and Korenar has dazzled with a 2.90 goals-against average and .922 save percentage, and his saves ranks second in the tournament.

Pro Hockey Movement...Three different players changed locations over the last month, and all now reside in the ECHL. Forward Jimmy DeVito (‘12-’13) was traded from the Rapid City Rush to the Reading Royals on December 19, and both forward Tyler Deresky (‘09-’10) and defenseman Vinny Muto (‘12-’13) earned the call from the SPHL with Deresky going to Rapid City on December 20 and Muto moving to the Worcester Railers on a Standard Player Contract (SPC) after initially joining the Florida Everblades under the same circumstances. DeVito owns 17 points through 26 games in his first professional season, Deresky earned his first ECHL assist through five games, and Muto has appeared in three games in ECHL play.
