Aebischer, David

Alex Auld

With the arrival of Ilya Bryzgalov, Auld cleared waivers and will report to the Coyotes minor league affiliate team, reports the Arizona Republic. David Aebischer, who was exiled to the same team earlier in the year, will move on to Europe to play the rest of the year there in order to make room for Auld. With Auld now just a small blip on the radar and Aebischer completely off it, the Coyotes goaltending situation has stabilized. Bryzgalov will see the lion's share of icetime with Mikael Tellqvist serving as the backup.

Aebischer is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jackets, reports the Arizona Republic. Mikael Tellqvist started the team's first two games with Alex Auld backing up. While coach Wayne Gretzky indicated that Auld is deserving of a start, he also stated that he'd like to draw from Aebischer's experience. GM Don Maloney said that the team is monitoring the three goalie situation and that in a few weeks time, they will make a decision on which two to keep and which one to boot out. We've said it before and we'll say it again - stay away.

Coach Wayne Gretzky has decided to carry three goaltenders to start the season, reports the Arizona Republic. Aebischer will be joined by Mikael Tellqvist and Alex Auld though it is not clear which of the three will start the season as the team's #1 goalie. Considering this uncertainty and the fact that the Coyotes may very well be the worst team in the league this year, this is one goaltending situation that you'll all want to steer clear of.
