RALSTON, NE - The Omaha Lancers announced a trade deal with the Dubuque Fighting Saints this morning. In the deal, the Lancers have acquired Goaltender Reilly Herbst, in exchange for a 2021 8th Round Phase II Draft Pick.
Reilly, a Niwot, CO native, has appeared in 3 games this season for the Fighting Saints, where he won in each showing. In the 2019-2020 season, Herbst spent time in the 2019-2020 season in the BCHL with the Vernon Vipers. While in the BCHL, Herbst played in 34 regular-season games, collecting a 20-10-3 record with a 2.91 GAA and a .901 SV%.
