Ducks sign goalie Alex Stalock to 1-year deal

The Anaheim Ducks signed unrestricted free-agent goaltender Alex Stalock to a one-year deal, the team announced Monday.

His deal has an average annual value of $800,000, according to CapFriendly.

Stalock enjoyed a solid bounce-back campaign in 2022-23 with the struggling Chicago Blackhawks. He posted a .908 save percentage and 3.01 goals against average in 27 showings while saving 2.98 goals above average, per Evolving Hockey.

The 36-year-old was limited to just one NHL game over the previous two seasons following a myocarditis diagnosis, and he also battled through a concussion and ocular dysfunction this past campaign.

Stalock was a finalist for the 2022-23 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy in recognition of his perseverance.

He owns a career .908 save percentage and 2.70 goals against average in 179 career NHL games. Stalock has also suited up for the San Jose Sharks and Minnesota Wild.

The Sharks selected him in the fourth round of the 2005 NHL Draft.
