AHL Shuffle: 05/07/22

While most of the daily roster movement is now finished with the playoffs now well underway, there have been a few smaller moves that have been made today which are as follows.

Atlantic Division

Metropolitan Division

• The Washington Capitals announced that they have reassigned forward Brett Leason to the Hershey Bears of the AHL. Leason has frequently transitioned between Washington and Hershey this season, drawing solid performances at both levels. The rookie did make his NHL playoff debut for the Capitals before being sent down. Because Leason was sent to the AHL on March 21st, he is eligible to play for the Hershey Bears in the Calder Cup playoffs.

Central Division

• The Predators have recalled center Cody Glass from AHL Milwaukee, putting the 23-year-old in the lineup for their third game against Colorado. Glass had a strong showing with the Admirals, picking up 62 points in 68 games while finishing fifth in the league in assists with 48.  However, that hasn’t translated to much success in his limited action with Nashville as he had just one assist in eight regular season games.
• The Avalanche have brought up goaltender Hunter Miska, per the AHL’s transactions log. With Colorado on the road, he’ll serve as the emergency backup.  The 26-year-old played in 17 games with the Colorado Eagles of the AHL this season, posting a 3.04 GAA with a save percentage of just .889, the worst numbers of his career.

Pacific Division

• The Oilers’ AHL affiliate in Bakersfield announced a pair of roster moves today. They’ve added winger Tyler Tullio from OHL Oshawa and forward Jake Chiasson from WHL Brandon with their junior playoffs coming to an end.  Tullio was a fifth-round pick in 2020 (126th overall) and led the Generals in scoring with 42 goals and 44 assists in 65 games, a 25-point gap for that scoring title.  Meanwhile, Chiasson, a 2021 fourth-rounder (116th overall), was limited to just 20 games for the Wheat Kings this season due to injury but still contributed with six goals and a dozen assists.
