TALBOT TO HARTFORD, JOHNSON TO NHL

Connecticut WhaleAccording to reports from the beat writers in NYC, Chad Johnson has been recalled by the New York Rangers to be Henrik Lundqvist’s understudy while Cam Talbot has been sent to Hartford to share the goaltending duties with Dov Grumet-Morris.

This is going to sound harsh, but this move helps the Whale. While he is a tremendous individual, Johnson has struggled with consistency all season long. He’s surrendered a lot of soft goals and his puck control at it’s best has been shaky.

Johnson is 16-19-3 with a 2.72GAA and a .901% in 40 games for the Whale.

Talbot meanwhile in 13 games this season has an 8-3-2 record and a 2.42GAA and a .919%.

Grumet-Morris is 4-3-1 with a 2.16GAA and  a .919%.
