AHL Goalie News — Tuesday, Oct. 27

Features

• Alexander Salak is in the news again for being named player of the week for the AHL. (Let’s Go Amerks)

And for those who are curious to see him in game action, Let’s Go Amerks kindly posted some video of him. Have you ever seen a goalie play so low? I don’t see how he’s holding that inside edge so securely. He’s without a doubt a unique goalie.

• Brad Thiessen is making the most of his pro start in with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins with a bold, successful debut on Saturday. (Times Leader)
• Lake Erie’s Tyler Weiman is up with the Avalanche right now while Peter Budaj rests up from the flu, but here’s a link to a piece in The Hockey News about the goalie biding his time in the Avs system. (I Mean, We Got Guys)
• Despite a rough start, Daniel Larsson is showing he’s the real deal in goal for Grand Rapids. (Grand Rapids Press)

Transactions

Houston Aeros goalie Anton Khudobin got the nod (over veteran Wade Dubielewicz) to back up Niklas Backstrom for the Minnesota Wild, as Josh Harding is potentially out with what the team is calling lower body soreness (but they’re being cagey about it).

Brett Jaeger, who attended Aeros pre-season camp, has been called up from the CHL Texas Brahmas to fill in for Khudobin. (The Third Intermission)
