The Revolution acquired goaltender Daniil Gerasimov from the New York Bobcats in exchange for forward Myckauly Melanson.
"We needed a marquis goaltender and Gerasimov is just that," said Revolution General Manager Chris Kanaly. "He is one of the youngest starting goaltenders in the league and will continue to catch the eyes of scouts at the collegiate and professional hockey levels."
In his first game with the Revolution, Gerasimov stopped 24 of 27 shots on net in the team's 6-3 victory over the Washington Junior Nationals back on January 18. Prior to his arrival in Warminster, the net minder posted a 3-1-2-0 record with a 2.20 goals against average and a 93.4 save percentage.
Melanson joined the Revolution back in November after the organization acquired him off waivers from the British Columbia Hockey League. Since the acquisition, Melanson has registered five goals and 13 assists in 14 games.
"The Philadelphia Revolution wish Melanson best of luck with the Bobcats," said Kanaly. "He is a professional young man on and off the ice and has a good future in hockey."
The EHL's regular Trade Deadline is on February 6.
"If necessary," said Kanaly, "we will be active before and during the deadline. Right now, I am liking the current team we have on the ice."
The EHL Revolution season continues on Thursday January 23 when they head north to take on the New Jersey Rockets at 8:00 PM. This contest can be streamed online at FastHockey.com.
