(Rochester, NY)... Rochester Americans General Manager Jody Gage announced today that the Florida Panthers have reassigned goaltender David Shantz to the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL.

Shantz departs Rochester after posting a 0-3-1 record with a 2.94 goals-against average and a .898 save percentage in five games between the pipes for the Amerks.

The 22-year-old native of Burlington, Ontario, began the 2008-09 season with the Dayton Bombers (ECHL), where he registered a 4-2-1 record with one shutout to go along with a 2.35 goals-against average and a season-high 160 saves in seven games.

The 6-foot-1, 207-pound netminder was the Florida Panthers' second-round selection (37th overall) in the 2004 National Hockey League Entry Draft.

Rochester looks for its third straight win of the season on Friday, December 19th as the Lake Erie Monsters return to The Blue Cross Arena. The 7:35 p.m. North Division matchup will be broadcast live on SportsRadio 1280 WHTK, whtk.com and AHL Live. The game will be the third of six scheduled meetings between the two teams this season, with the Amerks gaining wins in both previous matches. Rochester is 2-0-0-0 this season and 5-2-1 all-time against the Colorado Avalanche's affiliate.

Fans will have a chance to see the game for only $7 with the next installment of the Amerks' $7 Fridays, where 200 Upper End and 200 Balcony level seating is available for as low as $7. It's also AAA Night. All AAA members who present their membership cards to The Blue Cross Arena Box Office will receive 100-End Seating for $12 each (Reg.
