Sergei Murashov’s been formally recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL.
He’d joined the team too late to play in the game Sunday vs. the Panthers at PPG Paints Arena, so TaylorGauthier was promoted from nearby Wheeling of the AHL to serve as backup that day. With this move, Gauthier was sent to Wilkes-Barre.
Stuart Skinner had been unavailable to play Sunday after being struck near his left eye while seated at the bench the previous day. The recall of Murashov would strongly suggest the injury could keep him out longer.
All I’ll add: Let the kid play. Can’t hurt. Can only help. The goaltending this team’s gotten for weeks now won’t cut it come playoffs. He’s young, he’s inexperienced, he’s imperfect, but he’s also the most gifted they’ve got.
