TOLEDO, Ohio — Goaltender Billy Christopoulos has agreed to terms to return to the Toledo Walleye for the 2021-22 season.

In the 2019-20 season, he went 23-3-3 with a 2.30 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage for the Fish.

Christopoulos was also named as the goaltender for the ECHL All-Rookie Team during that season.

During the 2020-21 season, he played for the Indy Fuel after the Walleye announced they would not be playing due to the pandemic.

Christopoulos went 11-5-1 with the Fuel, posting a 2.29 GAA and a .914 SVP. He also made his AHL debut during the season, appearing in five games for the Rochester Americans, going 1-1-0.

“Billy has proven he can be an elite goaltender at the ECHL level," said Walleye head coach Dan Watson. "He competes and works each day to get better. He gained valuable experience last season by getting to play games in the AHL. We are excited to have Billy back in a Walleye uniform where he performed extremely well in the 2019-20 season."

The Walleye open the 2021-22 campaign on the road at Kalamazoo on Saturday, Oct. 3.
