Dayton, OH - The Dayton Bombers announced today that the National Hockey League's Florida Panthers have recalled goaltender David Shantz to the "AAA" American Hockey League's Rochester Americans. In a separate transaction, the Panthers assigned goalie Tyler Plante to the Bombers.
Shantz has gone 4-2-0-1 for Dayton with a 2.35 goals against average and .914 save percentage. He earned a 1-0 shutout on October 24 against the Johnstown Chiefs, saving 23 shots that he faced. Shantz, a 2nd round (#37 overall) draft pick of the Panthers in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, has won his last two starts, averaging just 1.50 goals against.
