At least a little bit surprising to me, since as I mentioned in the Barracuda thread, the Cuda don't need a backup until Saturday and Wichita has three straight games from Wednesday to Friday coming up. But, the Thunder do have a third goalie on their roster that I just noticed, it's just that he's yet to make a single appearance this season.
I'm not watching Wichita or anything, but just a glance at their stats tells me Carriere's been outplaying Dell:
Carriere: 8 GP, 2.36 GAA, .930 SV%
Dell: 6 GP, 3.61 GAA, .884 SV%
