Anaheim added to San Diego's goaltending depth on Thursday after they signed Oscar Dansk to a one-year, two-way contract. The 30-year-old netminder had spent the last two seasons with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) and posted an 11-12-3 record with a .322 GAA and .897 SV% in 27 games played in 2023-24.
Dansk was 8-6-2 with a 2.75 GAA and .905 SV% with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) and has signed a one-year, two-way contract extension ($775,000/$275,000) through the 2023-24 season. The 29-year-old has played in six career NHL games, picking up a 4-1-0 record after being Columbus' second round pick (31st overall) in 2012.
Marc-Andre Fleury has to serve a one-game suspension for skipping the All-Star game, so Dansk will serve as Malcolm Subban's backup on Friday. He'll likely return to the AHL following tonight's game.
Dansk was lit up for six goals on 37 shots in the Golden Knights loss in Philadelphia on Monday. After a brutal performance, Dansk and Garret Sparks swap spots and the 25-year-old heads back to Chicago. He is 0-1-0 with a 7.11 GAA and .720 SV% in the AHL this season.
With Marc-Andre Fleury starting the first nine games of the season and Malcolm Subban hurt, Dansk will start the front-end of Vegas' back-to-back. The 25-year-old netminder will be appearing in his first NHL games since October 30th, 2017. Dansk has gone 3-0-0 with a 1.78 GAA and .946 SV% in four career NHL appearances and was 27-13-2 with a 2.46 GAA and .913 SV% in 40 AHL games last year.

Dansk has been sidelined since October 30th and was 3-0-0 with a 1.78 GAA, .946 SV% and one shutout in four appearances with the Golden Knights. With Marc-Andre Fleury and Malcolm Subban both healthy, Dansk will get playing time in Chicago. He allowed six goals on 36 shots in his first game with the Wolves.
This is an unfortunate injury for both Dansk and the Golden Knights. Dansk had been playing brilliantly, stopping 88 of the 93 shots (.946 SV%) that he faced before getting hurt. Dansk joins Marc-Andre Fleury and Malcolm Subban on IR, leaving Maxime Lagace and Dylan Ferguson as their goaltending duo for the foreseeable future.
Dansk appeared to have lost an edge and he fell awkwardly on John Tavares’ second goal of the game and was forced to depart with a lower-body injury. Dansk was replaced by Maxime Lagace, who struggled, but is now expected to get the nod on Tuesday. There’s no word on how long Dansk will be sidelined, but the Golden Knights’ goaltending injury woes continue.
Dansk stopped all 32 shots that he faced in the Golden Knights’ shutout win over the Avalanche on Friday. Since coming in for Malcolm Subban two Saturday’s ago, Dansk has gone 3-0-0 while stopping 71 of 74 shots (.959 SV%). He’ll look to continue his winning streak tonight vs. an Islanders team that is averaging 3.45 goals for per game.

Dansk allowed one goal on 11 shots after replacing Malcolm Subban in the Golden Knights’ overtime win over the Blues on Saturday. It was a strong NHL debut for the former second round pick (No.31 overall in 2012), who will make his first career start tonight vs. Chicago. He was 6-16-0 with a 3.00 GAA and .903 SV% with Rogle BK in Sweden last year.
Dansk did not get any NHL action during his call-up and with Sergei Bobrovsky returning tonight, Dansk’s services are no longer needed.
Dansk, 20, was a second round pick (31st overall) of the Blue Jackets in 2012. The 6-foot-3, 201 lbs. net minder has gone 7-5-5 with 3.46 GAA and .883 SV% with Springfield this season, but has switched places with Anton Forsberg after Forsberg stubbled at the NHL level.
