ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Rochester Americans announced today the team has recalled goaltender Jason Kasdorf from the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL.
Kasdorf, 24, rejoins the Amerks after appearing in 3 games with the team this season. A native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Kasdorf boasts a 2-2-0 record with a 3.50 goals-against average and a .881 save percentage in 4 appearances with the Jackals. He picked up his first pro win on Nov. 27 against the Manchester Monarchs, making 24 saves on 25 shots in a 2-1 overtime victory.
Prior to turning pro, the 6-foot-4, 200-pound netminder completed a 4-year collegiate career at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (R.P.I.), posting a record of 38-37-9 in 88 games to go along with 2.39 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage.
