Mayer is 12-16-1 with the Hamilton Bulldogs this year
to go with a 3.02 goals against average and a 0.906 save percentage. He spent
last season with the club as well, going 9-10-2 with a 3.06 GAA and a 0.890
save percentage. In 2009-10, he played with the Bulldogs and the Cincinnati
Cyclones of the East Coast Hockey League. He helped the Cyclones capture the ECHL’s
Kelly Cup and was named co-playoff MVP.
Mayer played with the Sea Dogs in 2007-08 and 2008-09. He
went 16-10-1 with the Dogs in 2007-08 and played mostly as a backup to Travis
Fullerton. He was the No. 1 netminder the following year where he went 26-25-1.
The Habs signed Mayer as a free agent in 2008.
If Mayer sees game action, he will be the first Sea Dog
to ever play in goal for a National Hockey League game. Mathieu Corbeil was
recalled by the Columbus Blue Jackets on an emergency basis earlier this season
but only served as backup.
Defensemen Yann Sauve and Simon Despres along with
forward Mike Hoffman are the only former Sea Dogs to play minutes in the NHL so
far.
Montreal has three games remaining on their schedule including
a contest tomorrow night against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
