In addition, Admirals Executive Vice-President/General Manager Phil Wittliff announced that the team had recalled defenseman Dan Boese from the Rockford IceHogs of the United Hockey League.
Tootoo has posted six points (1g-5a) and a +4 rating in 17 games with Nashville this season. In 41 games with the Admirals this season, the 5-9, 194-pound right wing has posted 27 points (13g-14a), a +6 rating and 133 penalty minutes.

Zanon has posted 30 points (8g-22a) and a team-high +14 rating in 56 games for Milwaukee this season. The 5-11, 211-pound Burnaby, B.C. native, who wears the captain's "C" for Milwaukee, made his NHL debut with Nashville on December 1 vs. Minnesota and has appeared in two games with the Predators, notching one assist. He was originally signed as a free agent by Nashville on July 9, 2004 after helping the Ads capture the 2004 Calder Cup with a league-best +10 rating in the post-season.
Boeser has seven points (2g-5a) and a +12 rating in 21 games with the Hogs this season. The Savage, MN native has significant ties to the state of Wisconsin, however, as he played junior hockey for the Green Bay Gamblers and college hockey at the University of the Wisconsin.
