History
Dennis won the OHL championship two seasons ago with the Guelph Storm and received a lot of the credit for helping them knock off the Knights. London picked him up this year at the trade deadline and he split time in the net for the OHL championship, before playing three of the four games in the Memorial Cup.

Dennis went 9-1-2 in November, earning himself Goaltender of the Month honors. He finished with OHL career with 100 victories.
2006-07: Dennis appeared in 35 games for Rochester (AHL). He saw no ice time in a four-game recall to Buffalo from Nov. 10 through 15.

He made 22 saves to notch his first shutout of the season and earned first star honors against Hamilton on Nov. 3. After missing six games with a groin injury (12/21 – 12/30), Dennis posted 31 saves in his first game back in the lineup, a game against Toronto on Jan. 2. On Jan. 11 Dennis was named the game’s third star after making 25 saves against Manchester. He made 28 saves to record his second shutout of the season and earned first star honors against Toronto on Feb. 2. Feb. 10 marked Dennis’ third shutout, and second in four days, earning him first star honors against Grand Rapids.
Talent Analysis
He has a very unorthodox style, and fought through a tough season in front of a young Rochester Americans team this past season. Skating and puck handling are areas that call for improvement. Dennis gets by on guile and competitiveness, and continues to project as an NHL backup.
