The Utah Hockey Club has announced that they’ve signed goaltender Jaxson Stauber to a two-year, two-way extension. The deal comes with an AAV of $775,000 at the NHL level and $350,000 in the AHL.
Stauber took over as the backup when Connor Ingram stepped away from the team for personal reasons. In six NHL games, he went 2-1-1 with a .892 save percentage and a 3.26 goals-against average.
He also played in 21 games with the Tucson Roadrunners, Utah’s AHL affiliate, where he had a 12-7-2 record with a .897 save percentage and a 3.14 goals-against average. Unfortunately, Tucson was knocked out of the AHL Calder Cup Playoffs earlier this week.
Stauber also has a cool piece of trivia attached to him. On November 30, he recorded the first shutout in Utah franchise history, a 6-0 win over the Vegas Golden Knights.
