Back Again, Plante in Net for Amerks

Everything's set up and so I should be able to get back on track pretty quick. Sorry that there's been such a lull.

Tyler Plante is starting for Rochester tonight as Mike Brodeur suffered a groin injury on Saturday night before the Amerks' game. It's not serious, so he shouldn't be out but a few games.

On Friday, Brodeur stopped 35 of 37 and was a perfect 5-for-5 in the shootout (Rochester only scored once) to carry Rochester past the Grand Rapids Griffins. Saturday night was when he injured his groin during warmups. Still, Brodeur played through the first period. When he left the game after the first, Chris Beckford-Tseu took over, and in two periods, allowed six goals on twenty-four shots. Rochester lost, 8-4.

So tonight is the first game since that meltdown and with Plante getting the start against Rockford, it's evident that Beckford-Tseu has exhausted his chances. The goaltender that the Cats signed to a two-year deal over the summer is 3-14-1 with a 3.94 GAA and an .868%.
