His two assists this season in seven games is a better return than Minnesota Wild defenseman, Greg Pateryn who has just one assist in twenty-three games. Alex Stalock certainly proves useful for his ability to play a puck up ice.
There’s not many goaltenders in the league that are able to not only play the puck, but play it accurately and in a way that opens up an opposition team.
Time and again, Alex Stalock has done this for the Minnesota Wild and whilst they don’t all amount to goals or assists, it’s a skill-set that is a real asset in a backup goaltender.
