Augusta, GA - The goaltending ranks were shuffled today for the Augusta Lynx as David McKee was assigned to the club by the Anaheim Ducks, while Nathan Marsters was recalled to the American Hockey League's Portland Pirates.

McKee posted a 65-24-13 record over that time, leading the Big Red within one game of the NCAA Frozen Four tournament in 2005-06.
