Sabres goalie prospect Jonas Johansson exceeding expectations with Amerks
Goalie Jonas Johansson, 24, has quietly developed into a strong prospect, starting eight of the Rochester Americans’ first 18 games this season.
The affable Johansson has performed so well, he has stolen a little playing time from veteran Andrew Hammond.
Right now, the Amerks don’t have a designated No. 1 goalie.
“It is hard to say a No. 1 or 2 or 1A, 1B,” said assistant coach Gord Dineen, who served as interim coach for seven weeks. “The good thing I love to see is that Jonas is really getting an opportunity at the American League level, and he’s made the most of it.”
In 10 total appearances, he has compiled a 5-2-2 record with a 2.35 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.
It will be interesting to see what they do when UPL gets promoted to the Amerks. The article also mentions how well Casey Nelson has been playing.
