PORTLAND, ME – November 2, 2021 – The Mariners and their American Hockey League affiliate, the Providence Bruins, made a goaltender swap on Tuesday. Callum Booth was reassigned to the Mariners, while Jon Gillies was loaned to Providence.

Booth, who is on a two-way NHL-AHL deal, was in training camp with the Mariners, and played in the first preseason game on October 15th against the Worcester Railers. He was recalled to Providence on October 18th. Booth started for the P-Bruins on October 23rd against the Laval Rocket and made 24 saves in a 4-0 loss.
