You beat me to it by a couple minutes. Worried about this given Lu's "precautionary" injury

 

[Brokin]

Smart move as Ellis may not clear waivers.

Sam Brittain to Panthers or AHL?

 

[FlaPanthers11]

With the team for practice purposes. Need 2 goalies and Al is in Florida for his child's birth.

Sam Brittain to Panthers or AHL?

Panthers to practice while Montoya is with his newborn. Montoya wil be back with the team Thurs.

 

[Coach Nate]

Smart move as Ellis may not clear waivers.

Ellis already cleared waivers this season so he wouldn't need to clear again unless he was up for more than 30 days.

To me, this signals how serious the Panthers are about icing a winning team in San Antonio. The Rampage play tomorrow and Wednesday and, by recalling Brittain, instead of Ellis--who would do nothing more than practice for those 2 days--it shows they want the Rampage to do well and Ellis is needed here.

Mmmm. Forgot about 10 games or 30 days. My bad.

I'm glad to hear that. I had thought that Ellis could/should be at least an above average AHL goalie. Thankfully you guys aren't hurting in net.

That's debatable. Ellis has had some damn good stretches this season. Unfortunately, they are few and far between. The Rampage have the worst save% in the league and, if not for their top 5 offense, would be struggling to be anywhere near a playoff spot right now.

A lot of that also falls on the suspect defense and complete inability to transition the puck out of their own end, but the goalies have been pretty average this season.
