It appears as though James Reimer is likely to miss some time with an injury: the San Jose Sharks have acquired a goaltender, and it’s yet another familiar face coming back to a former crease. Alex Stalock is returning to the Sharks, in exchange for future considerations to the Edmonton Oilers.
It’ll be a fitting place if it’s where the 34-year-old will end his career when he becomes a free agent this summer; the Sharks drafted Stalock in the fourth round (112 overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. He came up through the team’s AHL system after three years at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, but during a lackluster 2015-16 campaign, he was notably traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for one James Reimer, to push the Sharks to the 2016 Stanley Cup Final.
