David Shantz to Rochester

David Shantz has gone 4-2-1 since joining the Dayton Bombers and with Rochester's goaltenders struggling, he's getting another crack at the AHL after being recalled earlier this evening.

As written at LetsGoAmerks.com, goaltender Tyler Plante packed up his gear after tonight's game against the Moose -- Plante did not play in the game -- and will be heading a bit southwest to tend the nets in Ohio.

Plante has appeared in six games this season, and as a starter has gone 0-5 with a 5.10 GAA and a save percentage right at .850%.

Shantz, through seven games, is 4-2-1 with a 2.35 GAA and a .914 save percentage.

Whether the move yields any significant improvement is a little questionable, as both Plante and Shantz struggled in the AHL last year, while both goaltenders were solid when they played for the Everblades last year.

Last week, Panthers goaltending coach Pierre Groulx went up north to Rochester, so whether this change is just a result of that, or a sign of things to come, we'll just have to wait and see.
