Halverson has been re-assigned to Hartford (AHL).
With Alexandar Georgiev expected to be out with the flu, Halverson has been called up to back up Henrik Lundqvist in Ottawa tomorrow.
Halverson was brought up to be Antti Raanta’s backup on Thursday, but his return to the ECHL suggests that Henrik Lundqvist will be ready to go on Sunday or Monday.
Halverson, 20, was a second round pick (No.59 overall) in 2014 and turned pro this season after spending three years with Sault Ste. Marie (OHL). Halverson has gone 9-14-0 with a 3.40 GAA and .886 SV% in 24 games with Hartford (AHL) and 3-1-0 with a 1.70 GAA and .943 SV% in four games with the Swamp Rabbits. He will serve as Antti Raanta’s backup with Henrik Lundqvist (lower-body) day-to-day.
