The "Hamburglar" has found a new home. The Minnesota Wild have announced the signing of goaltender Andrew Hammond to a one-year, two-way deal, while also announcing an injury to one of their main netminders.
Hammond's new contract is worth $700,000 in the NHL and $200,000 in the AHL. Meanwhile, the Wild would not say what, specifically, is wrong with Alex Stalock, saying only he is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury.
On the opening day of this year's free agency, Minnesota announced the signing of former Calgary goaltender Cam Talbot to a three-year deal worth $11 million. They also have Kaapo Kähkönen, a fourth round draft pick in 2014, fighting for an NHL position.
Hammond has played a total of 56 regular season games, 55 with Ottawa, and 1 with Colorado. He has a record of 27 wins, 15 losses, 6 overtime/shootout losses, a 2.31 G.A.A., a .923 save percentage, and 4 shutouts. In 5 career playoff games, he has 1 win, 3 loss, a 3.01 G.A.A., and a .924 save percentage.
