PHOENIX, Ariz. - The Phoenix RoadRunners of the ECHL, a proud affiliate of the San Jose Sharks and the Worcester Sharks, have acquired goaltender David McKee from the Augusta Lynx in exchange for defenseman Nick Toneys and future considerations.
McKee, 23, is 0-1-0 this season with an 8.52 goals against average and a .806% save percentage in one start with Augusta, and 0-2-0 with a 5.11 goals against average and a .841% save percentage in two appearances with the Iowa Stars of the American Hockey League. The Irving, Texas native and second-year professional went 29-15-2 in 52 games as a rookie in 2006-07 with Augusta with a 3.35 goals against average and a .898% save percentage. He led all first-year goaltenders and ranked fifth overall in the ECHL in wins, and led all ECHL goalies with six shootout victories and a .850% shootout save percentage.
McKee also started seven games last year with Iowa going 5-2-0 with a 2.85 goals against average and .899% save percentage.
