The Texas Stars announced this afternoon that the club has signed goalie Matt Jurusik to an AHL two-way deal. Jurusik spent much of 2020-21 with Texas on a PTO and signed with Idaho this past summer on a standard deal.
With the addition of taxi squads for the foreseeable future and the potential for COVID to ravage the crucial position if something were to happen, Texas needed an insurance policy. They could have done a heck of a lot worse than Jurusik. He owns a 6-2-1 record in Idaho with a 1.66 GAA and .935 SV% in 10 appearances this season.
