Pasquale allowed five goals on 24 shots in a 6-5 shootout win in Detroit on December 4th—his only NHL appearance of the season. The 28-year-old has spent the majority of the season and his career in the AHL, where he was 25-12-3 with a 2.37 GAA and .916 SV% this year.
Pasquale made his NHL debut during his call-up but returns to the AHL with Andrei Vasilevskiy’s return just around the corner. Pasquale has gone 5-2-0 with a 2.98 GAA and .900 SV% in nine games with the Crunch this year.
Pasquale has been backing up Louis Domingue since Andrei Vaslievskiy was hurt but he’ll swap spots with Connor Ingram so he can get some playing time in Syracuse. He is 4-2-0 with a 2.85 GAA and .896 SV% in seven AHL games this season.
With Andrei Vasilevskiy reportedly out for “a while” with a fractured left foot, Pasquale comes up to backup Louis Domingue. The 27-year-old has no NHL experience and is 4-2-0 with a 2.85 GAA and .896 SV%. Domingue will likely see a heavy workload while Vasilevskiy’s out, meaning Pasquale could backup for a few games and then swap out with Connor Ingram so both goalies stay fresh in the AHL.
Pasquale, 23, was 17-13-1 with a 2.43 GAA and .920 SV% in 31 games with the St. John's IceCaps last season. He will likely find himself with the Hershey Bears in 2014-15.
Pasquale is not fantasy relevant.
The reason for Pasquale's call-up is unknown. He likely will not be the Jets starter, so he holds no fantasy value.
Pasquale didn't get a start while Montoya was injured.
More news to come on the severity of Al Montoya's injury that forced him to leave yesterday's game. It is serious enough that the Jets had to recall Pasquale who is 14-19-2 with a 2.63 GAA and .912 SV% this season in the AHL. Ondrej Pavelec will likely see almost all the starts going forward.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
