Ray Emery News

The Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to terms with goaltender Ray Emery on a one-year contract and assigned goaltender Alexander Salak to the American Hockey League’s Rockford IceHogs.

Emery's signing signifies the team wants a veteran to help push Corey Crawford. With Anaheim, the Hamilton, Ont. native won seven of 10 starts with a 2.28 GAA and .926 SV%. Look for him to improve on his below average preseason.

Despite Emery's fine season last year, he might not earn a role with Chicago. With Anaheim, the Hamilton, Ont. native won seven of 10 starts with a 2.28 GAA and .926 SV%. If he doesn't make the Blackhawks, look for Emery to catch on with another team.

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan -- By most accounts there was no winner in Round 1 of the goaltender battle between Chicago Blackhawks netminders Ray Emery and Alexander Salak.

The winner of the backup job should have decent fantasy value with the uncertainty of Corey Crawford's sophomore campaign. Considering both goalies are high-reward players, drafting one as a handcuff would be a decent idea.
