A few days after trading the goaltender at the top of its organizational depth chart, the Chicago Blackhawks have reportedly added another name to its prospect pipeline in net.
According to Daily Faceoff’s Chris Peters, the Blackhawks have signed Providence goaltender Jaxson Stauber.
Stauber, who’ll turn 23 next month, appeared in 37 games for the Providence Friars this season, posting a 21-14-2 record with four shutouts, a .921 save percentage and 2.10 goals against average. As a sophomore last season, Stauber posted numbers of 11-7-5, .916 and 2.24, respectively. As Peters mentioned, Stauber did have one season of eligibility remaining but appears to be foregoing that to join the Blackhawks.
