Kossila earned his first career NHL point (assist) in a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Oct. 24 at the Wells Fargo Center and scored his first career NHL goal vs. Florida's James Reimer on Oct. 26 at the BB&T Center. Kossila has earned 2-4=6 points with six penalty minutes (PIM) in five AHL games with San Diego this season. The 5-10, 185-pound center currently co-leads the Gulls in scoring, ranks tied for second in assists and tied for third in goals.

Oleksy returns to the Gulls having collected 2-2=4 points with a +2 rating and four PIM in five AHL games. The 6-0, 188-pound defenseman has recorded points in three of his five games, while leading Gulls defensemen in goals and ranking tied for second in scoring.
