The Texas Stars have assigned goalie Philippe Desrosiers to the ECHL's Idaho Steelheads.
Desrosiers did not play in his stint with Texas this go-around. He joins a Steelheads roster that has closed the regular season and is looking ahead to the playoffs, a seven game series against Allen. The Steelheads have found a reliable goalie to replace Desrosiers in his absence with Tomas Sholl, who twice won ECHL Goalie of the Week honors and is 9-0-1 with Idaho with a 1.24 GAA and .953 SV%. It will be very interesting how Coach Graham deploys Sholl and Desrosiers in the playoffs.
