Blues recall AHL scoring leader Hunt from Wolves

ST. LOUIS -- Filling a void left by defenseman Robert Bortuzzo's move to injured reserve, the St. Louis Blues recalled defenseman Brad Hunt from the Chicago Wolves of the AHL on Thursday.

Hunt, 28, leads the AHL with 29 points (nine goals, 20 assists) through 23 games this season.

Hunt, a 5-foot-9, 185-pound native of Ridge Meadows, B.C., has appeared in 21 career NHL regular-season games, posting three points (one goal, two assists) and two penalty minutes with the Edmonton Oilers.
