Canucks Recall MacIntyre

It was announced on Tuesday that Trenton Sting Alumni goaltender Drew MacIntyre had been recalled by the Vancouver Canucks. MacIntyre has been playing for the Manitoba Moose of the AHL and was added to the roster to replace injured Roberto Luongo.

A rib injury prevented Luongo from playing Monday night in Los Angeles. Luongo, runner-up for the Hart and Vezina Trophies last season, suffered the rib injury after a hard shot found a gap in his equipment Dec. 2 against Minnesota.

The 24-year-old MacIntyre has not played in the NHL. He is 11-4-1 with one shutout, a 2.28 goals-against average and .926 save percentage in the AHL.

Congratulations to Drew on this opportunity which has been long overdue.
