PHOENIX, Ariz. - The Phoenix RoadRunners of the ECHL, a proud affiliate of the San Jose Sharks and the Worcester Sharks, have traded defenseman Brian Yandle to the Augusta Lynx. The deal completes an earlier trade in which the RoadRunners acquired goaltender Dave McKee from the Lynx in exchange for defenseman Nick Toneys and future considerations.

Yandle, 24, tallied six goals and 20 points in 30 games with the RoadRunners. The Milton, Mass. native and second-year professional logged 58 games with Phoenix over two seasons and compiled totals of 10 goals, 34 assists, and 44 points.

The RoadRunners acquired McKee on Nov. 14, 2007. The Irving, Texas native and second-year pro has gone 2-3-2 in eight starts since coming to Phoenix with a 3.65 goals against average and a .909% save percentage.

The RoadRunners conclude their four-game holiday home-stand at 7:11 p.m. Wednesday with the third and final game of their current series against the defending Kelly Cup Champion Idaho Steelheads.
