The Whale made two roster moves today tie up loose ends on the goaltender position. The Whale recalled Jason Missiaen from the Greenville Road Warriors, who was sent down to the ECHL on December 12 to give goaltender Bryan Hince a shot on his PTO. Hince has been released from his PTO and returned to Greenville. Hince served as the backup goaltender in Connecticut, while Missiaen went 4-1-0 with a 2.75 GAA and a .922 SV% in five games in the ECHL.
The Whale made a pair of roster moves to help shore up the goaltender position. Whale goaltender Jason Missiaen was sent to the Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL, while the Whale “recalled” Bryan Hince from Greenville. Recalled is in quotes because Hince himself had to be signed to an AHL PTO. For all intents and purposes it’s a recall, but there was some additional paperwork required for Hince to play in the AHL.
In three games with Greenville, Hince has a 1-2-0 record with a 3.36 GAA and a .912 SV%. In his professional career at the ECHL level, Hince is 12-3-0 with a 2.91 GAA and .910 SV%.
Missiaen struggled with the Whale this year and has ugly numbers to match his struggles. His 4.94 GAA and .850 SV% were among the worst in the league, although the Whale managed to go 2-3-0 in his games.
