Matthias to Rochester

According to Kevin Oklobzija of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Shawn Matthias is on his way north and will be playing for the Amerks tomorrow night. This also means that one of David Booth or Stephen Weiss has been removed from injured reserve and is cleared to play in the season opener. Initially, Oklobzija had reported that Frolik was joining Matthias, but it appears that now, for the moment, Frolik will be sticking around with the Panthers for another day or two. We'll see what happens there.

To the OHL, A.J. Jenks has been out of the Plymouth lineup since suffering a knee injury in his first game of the season on September 26th against the Soo Greyhounds. He was listed day-to-day as of October 1st, but he could be good to go for Friday night's game against London.

Brynäs, leaders of the Elitserien, are trailing 5-2 as the third period winds down. Markström has the night off, and Skellefteå has scored five as-yet unanswered goals since falling behind initially 2-0.

Through six games of his own, Markström is fourth in overall standings for save percentage (.940), fourth in goals against average (2.00) and sixth in saves, having made 186 (31 shots per game) thus far. He also has a shutout, stopping all 35 shots against Linköpings on October 4th.
