(Rochester, NY) – The Rochester Americans announced today that the team has reassigned defenseman Brycen Martin and goaltender John Muse to the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL.
Martin, 20, has appeared in three contests with the Jackals to begin the 2016-17 campaign. Last season, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound blueliner played in 66 contests in the Western Hockey League (WHL) for the Everett Silvertips and Saskatoon Blades, picking up 37 points (6+31) between the two clubs. He made his pro debut with the Amerks near the end of the 2014-15 season, appearing in three games. Martin was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the third round (74th overall) in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
Muse, 28, joined the Amerks for their two-game set this past weekend in St. John’s, stopping 32 of 34 shots he faced in Rochester’s 5-2 win over the IceCaps on Saturday. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound netminder also owns a 2-0-0 record through two games with the Jackals this season. At the time of his recall, the East Falmouth, Mass., native ranked fourth and sixth among ECHL netminders with a .963 save percentage and a 1.44 goals-against average, respectively.
