Early this morning I came across this little nugget on the AHL transactions page.
The Griffins have confirmed that Paterson has indeed been called up, and though there's no explanations as of yet as to why, the only thing that makes sense is an injury. Last week the Toledo Walleye loaned out goalie Jeff Lerg to the San Diego Gulls, the Anaheim Ducks AHL affiliate. Lerg and Paterson has been splitting time between the pipes for the Walleye and with Lerg gone, Paterson was slated to become the starter with newly signed backup Dustin Carlson as backup.
