He wasn't really filled in, he struggled in a couple games where the whole team struggled.
vs CHI: 59.7% xGF - 3 GF - 0 GA - 2 points - Team: 59.6% xGF
vs STL: 83.5% xGF - 0 GF - 0 GA - 0 points - Team: 49.8% xGF
vs STL: 51.6% xGF - 1 GF - 0 GA - 1 point - Team: 42.3% xGF
vs WPG: 16.11 xGF - 0 GF - 0 GA - 1 point - Team: 22.6% xGF
vs BUF: 4.5% xGF - 0 GF - 1 GA - 0 points - Team: 51.4% xGF
So really the Buffalo game was his first truly bad game that wasn't the whole team being bad, is on the ice for his first goal against during a 5 game call up, and is then sent down to never be seen again.
I don't know maybe keep that guy up and try to develop him at the NHL level, not just sent him down at the first time of his struggles. Not like Rooney has been so solid that he's irreplaceable in the lineup.

The eye test says that Kerins skating is not at an NHL level. Say what you will about Rooney but he plays with pace.
