Swift Current Broncos F Cody Eakin will make his pro hockey debut tonight.

 

Eakin is set to suit up for the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League when they play in Syracuse against the Crunch.  The 3rd-round selection of the Washington Capitals will likely see action this weekend when the Bears play three games in three nights.

 

Eakin, the 18-year-old Winnipeg native, was recalled by Herhsey following the end of the Broncos' season late last week.  He's coming off career highs in goals (47) and points (91).  He led the Broncos this season in both categories.
