Etem played in 24 of 27 games with the Ducks this season tallying six goals and four assists with a plus-2 rating. The Ducks did not give a reason as to why Etem is being sent down, but he will report to Norfolk along with Devante Smith-Pelly.
Etem will make his season debut tomorrow vs. New York. He was injured back on September 22nd and has not played since. The California native had three goals and seven assists (10 points) in 38 games last season.
Etem has been out since the end of September but appears to be nearing a return. He had three goals and seven assists (10 points) in 38 games in 2012-13.
Etem is not expected to play a prominent role for the Ducks so he is not fantasy relevant.
The young Etem scored 45 goals and 80 points with the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL. Considering he could play in Juniors for one more season and has not stepped on AHL ice yet, he would probably need to over-impress just to make the team.
