Jack Campbell signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Red Wings on Monday.
The 32-year-old goalie was 1-4-0 with a 4.50 goals-against average and .873 save percentage in five games for the Edmonton Oilers last season and was placed on unconditional waivers June 30 for the purpose of a buyout. He joins Cam Talbot, a 36-year-old goalie who signed a two-year, $5 million contract ($2.5 million AAV).
Campbell did not play in the NHL after Nov. 4, when he made 29 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Nashville Predators at Rogers Place in Edmonton. He has three seasons remaining on a five-year, $25 million contract ($5 million average annual value) signed July 13, 2022. He was sent to Bakersfield of the American Hockey League on Nov. 8, one day after being placed on waivers, and went 18-13-1 with a 2.63 GAA, .918 save percentage and three shutouts in 33 games.
Selected by the Dallas Stars with the No. 11 pick in the 2010 NHL Draft, Campbell is 164-93-52 with a 2.76 GAA, .909 save percentage and 10 shutouts in 176 regular-season games (164 starts) for the Stars, Los Angeles Kings, Toronto Maple Leafs and Oilers.
