The club called up the young defenceman in the absence of the injured Sean Durzi.
The Utah Hockey Club will face the Anaheim Ducks tonight in Orange County, but they will be one blue-liner short with Sean Durzi out long-term due to an upper-body injury.
To fill that roster spot, the club recalled defenceman Patrik Koch, who was one of the standouts in the pre-season.
The undrafted 27-year-old out of Slovakia only has appeared in one NHL game, which came last season against the Minnesota Wild.
However, he proved to be a force on the blue line for the Roadrunners last season, accumulating 15 points in 63 games, along with 97 penalty minutes.
