Stauber was recalled from AHL Tucson on Wednesday.
Stauber has a 2.29 GAA and a .930 save percentage in seven AHL outings in 2024-25. Connor Ingram is in Utah to be evaluated for an upper-body injury while the team is set to play in Boston on Thursday, so Stauber should provide additional depth while Ingram is away from the team. It wouldn't be surprising if Stauber serves as the backup goaltender versus the Bruins, while Karel Vejmelka will likely get the start.

Hockey Club's Jaxson Stauber: Inks one-year deal
Rotowire
Stauber secured a one-year, two-way contract with Utah HC on Friday.
Stauber played six NHL games back in 2022-23 with the Blackhawks but spent all of last season in the minors. With AHL Rockford, the 25-year-old backstop went 18-8-3 with a .902 save percentage and 2.85 GAA in 31 AHL regular-season contests. Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Stauber figures to be the third netminder on the depth chart, at best, meaning he figures to spend most of the year in the minors.

Blackhawks' Jaxson Stauber: Gives up three goals in win
Rotowire
Stauber allowed three goals on 32 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Stars.
Jason Robertson's power-play marker in the second period looked like it could have deflated the Blackhawks. Instead, Max Domi and Patrick Kane each scored twice while Stauber sharpened up in goal to make the comeback win possible. The 23-year-old netminder continues to defy expectations for Chicago, going 5-1-0 with 17 goals allowed across six appearances. He hasn't put up stunning numbers, but he's outplayed Petr Mrazek while Alex Stalock (head) is on injured reserve. The Blackhawks' road trip continues Saturday in San Jose and also sees stops in Anaheim on Monday and Arizona on Tuesday -- Stauber should get at least one start in that span of three favorable matchups, unless Stalock is activated.

Blackhawks' Jaxson Stauber: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire

The rookie netminder kept Chicago in the game until the third period, when Montreal potted three goals in six minutes to pull away. It was Stauber's first loss in the NHL after three straight wins, and the 23-year-old will likely continue splitting work with Petr Mrazek until Alex Stalock (head) is ready to return.

Rotowire
Stauber allowed three goals on 27 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Coyotes.

He was ultimately bailed out when Caleb Jones scored in overtime to secure the win. Stauber remains undefeated in NHL action this season, having allowed seven goals on 94 shots through three appearances. Petr Mrazek will likely guard the cage in Winnipeg on Saturday.

Stauber has a 2-0-0 record at the NHL level this season with a 2.00 GAA and a .940 save percentage. He should get more opportunities to play with Alex Stalock (concussion) unavailable, but Petr Mrazek is likely to see the majority of the starts.

Blackhawks' Jaxson Stauber: Sharp in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Stauber allowed one goal on 35 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Flames.
Stauber has now won his first two NHL appearances, and he's showing that he can be trusted with a backup's workload while Alex Stalock (concussion) is out. Through two outings, Stauber's allowed four goals on 67 shots. The 23-year-old will still likely be Petr Mrazek's understudy, but the Blackhawks have been better than expected in January, so Stauber may have some streaming appeal in the right matchups.

Blackhawks' Jaxson Stauber: Recalled from minors
Rotowire
Stauber was elevated from AHL Rockford on Wednesday.
Stauber's promotion to the NHL roster could be an indication that Alex Stalock (illness) won't be fit enough to dress for Thursday's clash with Colorado. As such, fantasy players should probably expect Petr Mrazek to start against the Avs with the youngster Stauber serving as the backup, though nothing has been officially announced yet by the team. Stauber figures to serve as a temporary relief option while in the NHL and is unlikely to see any action before returning to the minors.
