I hope that's the case. Seems odd to send him down without even playing him in a game so far this season. It sounded like he had a good training camp in the NHL so I was expecting him to get a couple starts but Ward seems to be sticking with Berra. The Heat play 3 games in 3 nights this weekend so maybe get him some playing time in the ECHL so he isn't rusty when they call on him later in the week. Ward does seem to stick with older goaltenders over younger ones though so who knows.
