Beckford-Tseu to the Everblades

The Florida Panthers today reassigned goaltender Chris Beckford-Tseu to the ECHL's Florida Everblades.

Whatever confidence Beckford-Tseu may have had when the season started is long gone and more unfortunate is just how different the Amerks played with him in net. It was a team that, much like their goaltender, had no confidence.

So for CBT, hopefully the move will help him get his game on track and work on some things. It seems to have made a big difference with Tyler Plante, who effectively ousted Beckford-Tseu as the backup by coming up huge in relief of the injured Mike Brodeur.

Now, however, Brodeur is back and Plante is staying put. For Beckford-Tseu, the only option to keep playing would be reassignment.

The 'Blades play the Charlotte Checkers tonight at 7:00, although I wouldn't assume Beckford-Tseu will be starting, due to travel and the like.

In 22 games with Rochester, Beckford-Tseu went 3-14-1 while posting a 3.94 GAA and a save percentage of .868%.
