Jung on the move

The Edmonton Oil Kings, obviously concerned about inconsistent goaltending, especially from veteran Dalyn Flette, have acquired Torrie Jung, 19, from the Lethbridge Hurricanes. The Oil Kings gave up a 2010 sixth-round bantam draft pick for Jung, who is in his third WHL season.
Jung, a seventh-round pick by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2007 bantam draft, had been at home in Nanaimo, B.C., since the season's first week awaiting a move. He got squeezed out in Kelowna after the Rockets acquired G Kris Lazaruk, 20, from the Kootenay Ice.
The Rockets dealt Jung to the Hurricanes on Thursday for a conditional 2010 sixth-round draft pick.
Last season, Jung went 13-12-0-5 with a 2.86 GAA for the Rockets.
The Oil Kings have allowed a league-high 63 goals.
