The Nashville Predators reassigned Steve Begin and Mark Dekanich to Milwaukee after the Predators' 6-1 loss the the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night.
Begin played his first game with the Predators on Friday night at New Jersey and was a minus 2 in 11:50 of ice time in the game with the Kings. He also took a penalty in each game.
Dekanich was called up 15 days ago when Pekka Rinne went down with a knee injury and served as Anders Lindback's backup. He got into his first NHL game on Saturday when Lindback was pulled at the 9:15 mark of the first period. He stopped 22 of 25 shots.
In the postgame when Coach Barry Trotz was asked about Dekanich's performance, he indicated that it wasn't the type game where you could really tell much.
Here is the complete release from the Predators...
