Cody Eakin potted a goal and also registered an assist in the Texas Stars' 3-1 win over the Abbotsford Heat Friday night.

Eakin was picked up by the Stars from Washington in the Mike Ribeiro deal and is likely to battle for a third-line spot when the NHL resumes. He has a solid 17 points in 24 games this season in the AHL.

Cody Eakin potted a goal as Texas beat Milwaukee on Wednesday night 2-1 in overtime.

Eakin was part of the trade that sent Mike Ribiero to the Capitals. With only eight points in 30 NHL games, he didn't enjoy immediate success with the Caps, but he's only 21 and shows promise of being a scorer at the highest level. He has seven goals and seven assists in the AHL thus far.

Cody Eakin potted his team-leading sixth goal of the season in Texas' 4-2 win over Houston on Sunday.

Eakin is tied with Tomas Vincour, with nine points, for the most on the Dallas' AHL affiliate this season. The Texas Stars currently sit in last place in the South Division with a 4-6-0-1 record. Eakin is expected to join the big club when the lockout is done.

Cody Eakin scored twice to lead the Texas Stars to a 4-3 shootout win over Charlotte on Sunday.

Cam Barker also scored for the Stars while Zach Boychuk scored once and added a pair of assists for Charlotte. Eakin was picked up by the Stars from Washington in the Mike Ribiero deal and is expected to be the Stars third line center when the NHL resumes.

Cody Eakin could find himself in a number of different situations at the start of the 2012-13 season.

With Derek Roy projected to be out until late November, the Stars may be in need of some help down the middle if the NHL starts on time. That leaves the door open for Eakin to potentially center the team's second line between Ray Whitney and Michael Ryder. When Roy is able to return then Eakin is likely to battle for a third-line spot, but there is also the threat of him being placed in the minors because the 21-year-old is only on the second year of his entry-level deal.

The Dallas Stars think that newly acquired Cody Eakin will be a good fit for their team.

Dallas got Eakin and the 54th overall pick from the Washington Capitals in exchange for Mike Ribeiro. Eakin had four goals and eight points in 30 games with Washington last season. "Cody Eakin is a young, competitive player who we’ve had our eye on for some time," said Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk. "He plays a solid two-way game and epitomizes the ‘hard to play against’ mentality we’re building our team around. Cody’s future is bright, and we’re excited to add him to our club."

Cody Eakin has been shipped to the Dallas Stars, along with the 54th overall pick in the 2012 draft, in exchange for center Mike Ribeiro.

The 21-year-old Eakin appeared in 30 games with the Capitals in 2011-12 in his first taste of NHL action. He registered four goals and four assists, while averaging just 9:16 of ice time per game. Eakin has speed to burn and he does possess offensive upside, so if he gets the ice time in Dallas he could be productive.

The Capitals recalled Cody Eakin from Hershey of the AHL.

Eakin appeared in 30 games with the Caps this season, going 4-4-8. The center was 13-14-27 in 43 matches with Hershey.

The Capitals have returned Cody Eakin to AHL Hershey.

The team announced the move prior to Thursday morning's skate. Eakin skated in 30 games for Washington during the regular season, while generating four goals and four assists. Hershey opens their first-round playoff series against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday, so Eakin will probably dress in that contest.

Cody Eakin will dress on Thursday night after being recalled on Wednesday.

"He's a good skater, we add more speed to our lineup," coach Dale Hunter said. "He's been playing well down there; he's been scoring some goals so get him up in the lineup." Hunter had been using 11 forwards and seven defenseman for the past two games, but that experiment will end versus the Boston Bruins on Thursday.

Washington has brought up Cody Eakin from the AHL.

It's unclear if he's up for insurance purposes for Capitals' trip to Boston or if he will draw into the lineup as an injury replacement. Eakin has eight points with Washington in 29 games this season.
Wed, Mar 28, 2012 04:31:00 PM

Fri, Mar 23, 2012 11:36:00 AM

Cody Eakin has been sent to the minors.

Eakin's demotion is likely in response to the fact that Alex Ovechkin has finished serving his three-game suspension. Eakin is expected to report to AHL Hershey.
