Goalkeeper Martin Houle landed in Las Vegas on Tuesday and will be in uniform for the Wranglers’ home opener Thursday night.
Las Vegas coach and general manager Glen Gulutzan scrambled for another keeper when John DeCaro sustained a lower-body injury in the opener in Alaska on Friday.
Bryan Bridges relieved DeCaro and took a shootout defeat in Anchorage on Saturday. Las Vegas plays Ontario on Thursday at 7:05 p.m. at the Orleans Arena.
Houle, a 23-year-old native of Montreal, played one game for the Philadelphia Flyers two seasons ago. In two minutes, he was pelted with three shots and one found the net.
He spent most of last season in for Wheeling in the ECHL, going 5-13.
Houle was selected by Philadelphia in the eighth round of the 2004 entry draft and has spent time in the American Hockey League each of the past three seasons, going 32-40-3.
