Gazizov, who is under contract to San Diego of the American Hockey League, scored two goals and added two assists for four points in a pair of games against Rapid City last week.

The 20-year-old had three points (2g-1a) in a 7-1 win on Saturday in his pro debut before adding an assist in a 4-1 victory on Sunday.

Prior to turning pro, Gazizov recorded 157 points (69g-88a) in 173 career games with London of the Ontario Hockey League.

On behalf of Ruslan Gazizov, a case of pucks will be donated to a Tulsa youth hockey organization by Inglasco, the exclusive puck supplier of the ECHL. Since beginning its sponsorship of the award in 2000-01, Inglasco has donated more than 51,000 pucks to youth hockey organizations in ECHL cities.
