The Anaheim Ducks have acquired goaltender Justin Pogge from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a conditional selection in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Pogge, 23, made his NHL debut with Toronto last season, posting a 1-4-1 record with a 4.36 goals-against average and .844 save percentage in seven appearances. He spent the rest of the season with the Maple Leafs' AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, going 26-21-5 with a 2.70 GAA and .895 SV% in 53 appearances.
Originally selected by Toronto in the third round (90th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, Pogge made his professional debut with the Marlies in 2006-07. In three AHL seasons with Toronto from 2006-09, Pogge went 71-56-11 with seven shutouts, a 2.71 GAA and .899 SV% in 142 career appearances.
A native of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Pogge helped lead Team Canada to the gold medal at the 2005 World Junior Hockey Championships in Grand Forks, ND with a record of 6-0-0, three shutouts, a 1.00 GAA and .952 SV% in six games.
