"acob Markstrom's time will come. Dale Tallon still is expecting big things from the 21-year-old. It's just that those big things won't be coming from the big kid in the short term in the Florida Panthers' goal.

As expected, the Panthers sent the 6-foot-6 goaltending prodigy to their San Antonio Rampage affiliate in the American Hockey League on Monday in order to clear a roster spot for returning backup Scott Clemmensen.

For Tallon, not even Markstrom's stellar play in reserve of veteran Jose Theodore was enough to alter the team's long-term vision of Markstrom as a franchise face of the future."
