According to the AHL Transaction Page, the Anaheim Ducks recalled Jean-Philippe Levasseur from his loan to the Springfield Falcons today.
According to the Falcons' game night notes for their contest tonight, Levasseur is headed back to Laredo.
Here's what they say on the subject:
The Springfield Falcons signed goaltender Bryon Lewis to an Amateur Tryout Agreement on Wednesday afternoon after J.P. Levasseur was reassigned by the Anaheim Ducks back to the Central Hockey League's Laredo Bucks.
The team has not given me any information about any possibility of Levasseur returning, and it would be rather ironic if he does just a few weeks after finally retrieving his possessions - and his dog - from down here during the AHL All-Star break.
Levasseur has not been playing much since Devan Dubnyk got sent back to the Falcons early this month and hasn't started since Feb. 16, two days after a stunning 49-save shutout.
Getting Levasseur back would obviously be huge for the Bucks, but it would also force them to get rid of one of their current goalies and probably put them in a salary situation where they could only carry 18 guys and stay under the cap.
We'll see how this all plays out; I'm trying to get in touch with the Bucks to see what they can tell me about the situation.
UPDATE: The Bucks say they have not heard anything about Levasseur's status, and it seems I am incapable of getting a long blog post done while I am working on desk alone. I will transcribe quotes when I am home, and I promise you will get a lot of them tomorrow morning. Sorry for the delay(s).

If levasseur does return i think Pelletier is the odd man out due to the success Desfosses has had with us but who knows! And the thing is if JP returns he will be the #1 Starter and i don't think Desfosses wants to stay has a backup like he was with Corpus..
