The Panthers recalled winger Michal Repik from the Rochester Americans today. Keaton Ellerby had been occupying the 23rd roster spot, but he was sent back to Rochester after the Penguins game. Although, if Jassen Cullimore is still ready to leave at a moment's notice, they're not exactly far from Rochester today. So we'll see if anything else happens there. Whether it does or not, though, you have to think Repik's call-up is simply to play.
Over in Sweden, Jacob Markström got to play game four of the quarterfinal, but the eventual outcome was no different than Anders Lindbäck's three previous starts: Brynäs lost. Only this time, the series is over.
Markström played well, making key saves and turned aside 26 of 28, but his team could only get one by Jonas Gustavsson and that means the season for Brynäs is over.
But for the 19-year old goaltender, surgery may be in his future to repair the meniscus in his knee. Since the WJC, doctors twice have drained the knee to reduce swelling, and now with the season over, they will look more in-depth and attempt to keep it from happening again.
