It’s official: Lehner recalled from Binghamton

As expected, the Ottawa Senators have recalled goaltender Robin Lehner from the club’s American Hockey League affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, on an emergency basis to fill in for the injured Craig Anderson.
Lehner, 20, has a record of 8-16-1 with a 3.38 goals-against-average and .905 save percentage through 27 games with Binghamton this season. A native of Goteborg, Sweden, Lehner also appeared in one National Hockey League game, stopping 23 shots in a 3-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 30 at Scotiabank Place.
In 2010-11, Lehner was awarded the American Hockey League’s Jack Butterfield Trophy as playoff most valuable player, helping Binghamton capture their first Calder Cup. In nine career NHL games, he has a 2-4-1 record with a 3.29 goals-against-average and .892 save percentage.

About Allen Panzeri

After three years of teaching English at the University of British Columbia, Allen Panzeri began his career in journalism in 1979 at the Medicine Hat News, where he covered Kelly Hrudey and the Tigers while learning about block heaters, rodeo, and curling. In 1981, he moved north to the Edmonton Journal, where he covered boxing, the Edmonton Drillers of the North American Soccer League, and the University of Alberta Golden Bears and Pandas for four years, before taking a 10-year hiatus from sports to write editorials, cover primary, secondary, and university education, and watch the beginnings of the Ralph Klein era at the provincial legislature. Traded to the Citizen in 1995, he accepted an offer to return to sports and cover the Ottawa Lynx, lucking into a front-row seat for their 1995 International League championship, and since then has covered the Senators and typed out the occasional article on golf.
