Recalled/Assigned: Bracken Kearns called up, Shane Prince to the IR

[majormet]

Seems like Kearns may be the 4th line C against the Habs, I think he is 2nd oldest on the team LOL

I actually really like Kearns, those two games he came up for last year he played his heart out. Good guy.

Well deserved call up for Kearns.

Would have liked to see some other guys, but hopefully it's not a long stint anyway. Bernier is still there and he was serviceable last year. Can't reward Ho-Sang this early, but damn it'd be fun to see him get some ice time in the bigs.

Bracken Kearns

Unfortunte, but the injury to Casey Cizekas can have huge implications to a playoff run. In steps AHL veteran Bracken Kearns who has seen just about everything in the minor leagues and who has NHL experience.

I think it is a good move and lucky we have this guy hanging around.

There is a thread for him being called up. Few threads down.

I believe in the Bridgeport thread it's reported that Bernier is out with an upper body injury. Ho-Sang isn't good defensively, so you don't want him playing on the fourth line.

Anyone see AHL face off percentages stats out there. It is a weakness on this team. Wonder how Kearns does?.

I feel like they just wanted a guy to plug in on the 4th line if need be. If Ho-Sang were coming up he'd be better off in the top 6.

Let's be honest, this board would go mental if JHS was called up to be the 12/13 forward.

Bracken Kearns, come get the Stanley Cup!
