Today, the Marlies announced that they have recalled Michael Garteig from the Newfoundland Growlers to join them on their road trip to play the Manitoba Moose tonight and tomorrow night.
Garteig, who has been a big reason the Growlers are first in the standings in the ECHL was only recently given an AHL contract. He has a .912 save percentage in 21 games. He was originally signed to an ECHL deal with the idea he would be the backup in St. John’s. Now he’ll be playing with former Growlers teammate Eamon McAdam as the only Marlies goalies on this trip.
