Detroit — The Red Wings may have acquired their goaltender of the future.
The Wings acquired goaltender Eric Comrie Saturday from Arizona in exchange for defenseman Vili Saarijarvi.
Comrie, 24, was claimed off waivers by Arizona from Winnipeg on October 1. He has yet to see NHL playing time this season, but in four games with Tucson (AHL), Comrie (6-foot-1, 175 pounds) won all four games with a 2.75 goals-against average and .900 save percentage.
In five career NHL starts with Winnipeg, Comrie is 2-3-0 with a 4.21 goals-against average and .870 save percentage.
