Wheeling got stronger today as Cody Chupp, Matt Rust, Philip Samuelsson and Cody Wild were sent there in anticipation of a big game in Elmira against the Jackals with Atlantic Division leader implications tonight. The Jackals are a point ahead of the Nailers for the lead in the division.
From the AHL Transactions Page, Ryan Schnell was called up from Wheeling. Probably just a roster move to make room for the quartet coming from Coal Street.
Bombulie had a goaltending update today. Brad Thiessen is still on recall to Pittsburgh, who is in Dallas tonight. They travel to Colorado Friday for a game Saturday. Logistically with Wilkes-Barre traveling to Glens Falls Saturday night, Thiessen won’t be back this week. Head Coach John Hynes eluded to that in today’s update.
Other than that, not a whole heck of a lot going on. Catch yourself up with the Third Quarter Grades and an East Division Discussion I had in earlier blog features.
Let’s Go Pens!
