AHL Goalie News — Friday, Oct. 2

The AHL season starts tonight with only two games but all three Texas teams playing. Texas meets San Antonio, and Houston bookends its summer facing Manitoba, to whom they lost out of the playoffs in May.

• The Binghamton Senators had a nice trio of goalies competing for the two AHL slots, but ultimately sent Chris Holt to ECHL Elmira. Mike Brodeur and Andy Chiodo will man the pipes for Bingo for now. (Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin)
• Here’s some video from Bingo, too:  Binghamton Senators feel good about their goaltending (Fox 40 WICZ)

• From the OMGOuchScary File is Lowell Devils goalie Jeff Frazee getting sliced in the neck by a skate blade during a scrimmage on Tuesday. He’ll be fine but, yikes. Never want to see that. (Star-Ledger)
