Last season, Stalock spent most of the season with Iowa (AHL), where he went 23-17-1 with a 2.28 GAA and .926 SV%. It was a strong season for the former Sharks’ backup, who has a 2.35 GAA and .912 SV% in his 64-game career. He draws a pretty difficult matchup in his first start as the young Hurricanes are expected to bring a lot of offence this season.

Stalock was 3-5-2 with a 2.94 GAA and .884 SV% in nine starts and four relief appearances last year and signed with the Wild this offseason. He was always viewed as the No.3 option behind Devan Dubnyk and Darcy Kuemper, so this move is no surprise.
Stalock, 28, struggled with the Sharks last season, going 3-5-0 wit ha 2.94 GAA and .884 SV% before being demoted to the AHL and eventually traded to the Maple Leafs as a part of the James Reimer deal.
