WHAT CHANGED THIS WEEK
Before we get into the weekend’s games, let’s take a quick minute to remember the various lineup changes from last Saturday’s victory over Hartford until the game on Friday against Hershey.
The big change happened early in the week, with Pittsburgh’s Antti Niemi placed on waivers on Monday, then Pittsburgh promoting WBS goalie Casey DeSmith Monday evening. Through 3 starts for WBS, last year’s AHL All-Rookie selection had three wins, no even-strength goals allowed as part of a 0.98 GAA, a save percentage of .965, and one shutout.
