With the injury to Alex Stalock, the Blackhawks are now down two goaltenders and will likely have to sign someone to bridge the gap until Petr Mrazek is ready to return.
with New York Islanders forward Casey Cizikas.
Stalock has been so good for the Blackhawks in the early part of this season, and knowing the adversity he overcame to get back to becoming a full-time NHL goaltender, you hated having to see him lay on the ice before regathering himself and skating off with trainers.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
"It's tough," Caleb Jones said following a 3-1 loss to the Islanders."We all love him in here. That was a tough one for him to take. I haven't talked to him, hopefully he's alright." With Stalock out for who knows how long and Petr Mrazek still working his way back from a groin injury, the Blackhawks could find themselves in a complicated situation. Arvid Soderblom is the only other healthy goaltender the Blackhawks have on an NHL contract, which means they might have to sign one.
Jaxson Stauber, who had taken over as the starter for the Rockford IceHogs in the American Hockey League with Soderblom in the NHL, was injured over the weekend, so Rockford had to call up Mitchell Weeks from their ECHL team to back up Dylan Wells. Even if he's healthy, Stauber probably isn't someone the Blackhawks want to lean on with the IceHogs thin at the goaltending position too.
