The Chicago Blackhawks are interested in signing goaltender Cam Ward, reports Jay Zawaski of 670 the Score. Zawaski also states that “an agreement may already be in the works/close” with the 34-year-old netminder.
Ward was 23-14-4 with a 2.73 goals-against average and .906 save percentage last season with the Carolina Hurricanes as he split time with Scott Darling. The 2002 first-round pick Ward has spent his entire NHL career with Carolina, including winning the Stanley Cup in 2006 as a rookie.
Over the last five seasons, Cam Ward has been the worst goalie in the NHL per @CorsicaHockey’s GSAA at minus-40.
