The Norfolk Admirals signed left wing Mark Rooneem from their ECHL affiliate in Mississippi in hopes of more scoring punch.

The Admirals will also have the services of Tampa Bay Lightning center Ryan Craig, who has been assigned to Norfolk on a brief conditioning stint. Craig practice d with the Admirals on Tuesday.
Goalie's numbers superb
Norfolk's offensive struggles have masked the strong play of goalie Jonathan Boutin, who leads the AHL in save percentage (.950) and ranks second in the league in goals-against average (1.76).
On Saturday, Boutin earned the game's No. 2 star honors after stopping 38 of 39 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
