Dennis Cook has been signed as the emergency backup to Jeff Zatkoff for tonight’s game in Phoenix.
Meanwhile, Kellen Briggs got the start last night for the AHL’s Portland Pirates (against former NHL netminder Danny Sabourin of the Springfield Falcons), and gave up a goal to (former NHL center) Gilbert Brule among three by Springfield in the first 23 minutes.
He then settled down and didn’t allow another goal until overtime, as the Pirates lost 4-3. Briggs finished with 19 saves on 23 shots — in all, not a bad debut.
