Stauber was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Thursday.
Stauber has a 2-1-1 record, 2.23 GAA and .925 save percentage in four appearances with Utah this season. Connor Ingram (upper body), who was with Tucson on a conditioning stint, has rejoined the NHL squad. Stauber will likely remain in the minors for the rest of 2024-25 unless Utah once again needs another goaltender due to an injury.

Hockey Club's Jaxson Stauber: Receives little help in loss
Rotowire
Stauber allowed three goals on 37 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Stauber took his first regulation loss of the season, but he put in a decent performance against a tough opponent. He's allowed nine goals on 120 shots over four appearances, good for a .925 save percentage. Stauber continues to see limited time behind Karel Vejmelka, and his NHL time could be coming to a close soon since Connor Ingram (upper body) began a conditioning loan with AHL Tucson on Tuesday. Utah doesn't have another back-to-back until Jan. 23 and 24, and it's likely Ingram will be healthy by then. Stauber is waivers-exempt, so Utah won't have any trouble getting him back to the AHL.

Hockey Club's Jaxson Stauber: Starting in Edmonton
Rotowire
Stauber will guard the road goal against the Oilers on Tuesday, according to Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports.
Stauber will get the second half of Utah's back-to-back after Karel Vejmelka played in Monday's 5-2 loss to Seattle. The 25-year-old Stauber has allowed only six goals on 83 shots en route to a 2-0-1 record in three NHL appearances this season. Edmonton ranks 10th in the league with 3.25 goals per game in 2024-25.

Hockey Club's Jaxson Stauber: Loses in shootout Sunday
Rotowire
Stauber stopped 26 of 30 shots in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Ducks.
Stauber was tagged with the loss in a game that was decided on a shootout, where he gave up the decider to Mason McTavish. Stauber has yet to be defeated in regulation this season, going 2-0-1 with a 1.96 GAA and a .928 save percentage in three appearances. That said, his fantasy upside shouldn't be very high even if the numbers (in a small sample) are impressive, as he'll remain in the backup role behind Karel Vejmelka, and he'll likely be demoted to AHL Tucson once Connor Ingram (upper body) is ready to return.

Hockey Club's Jaxson Stauber: Picks up win in second start
Rotowire
Stauber turned aside 22 of 24 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.
Stauber has won both of his games this season, the first being a shutout win over the Golden Knights on Nov. 30. The 25-year-old Stauber won't see much playing time since Karel Vejmelka has played well in the absence of Connor Ingram (upper body). Still, Stauber appears to be a reliable streaming option for whenever he might get the nod. Utah plays just four times over the next 10 days, so he's unlikely to see more than one start in that span, and he may not see any since he's played only in back-to-back situations so far.

Hockey Club's Jaxson Stauber: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Stauber will guard the road net Sunday against the Flyers, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
Stauber will get the starting nod for Utah in the second leg of a back-to-back. The 25-year-old netminder has made just one NHL appearance this season, turning aside 29 shots in a shutout victory over Vegas.

Hockey Club's Jaxson Stauber: Earns first career shutout
Rotowire
Stauber posted a 29-save shutout in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Stauber earned his first career shutout and has won six of seven NHL appearances. He impressed in a short stint with the Blackhawks in 2022-23 but spent all of 2023-24 with AHL Rockford. Utah had been reluctant to give Stauber a start since Connor Ingram (upper body) landed on injured reserve, but it appears that cautious approach was misguided. Karel Vejmelka has seen a heavy workload recently, and Utah doesn't have another back-to-back until next weekend. It wouldn't be surprising if Stauber got to start Saturday versus the Sabres or Sunday against the Flyers if Ingram hasn't been cleared to return.

Hockey Club's Jaxson Stauber: Set to start Saturday
Rotowire
Stauber is expected to start on the road against Vegas on Saturday, per Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune.
Stauber will see his first NHL action since posting a 5-1-0 record, a 2.80 GAA and a .911 save percentage in six regular-season appearances with the Blackhawks in 2022-23. He's earned a 2.29 GAA and a .930 save percentage in seven outings with AHL Tucson this campaign. Connor Ingram is on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury, allowing Stauber to make his Utah debut in Saturday's contest.

Hockey Club's Jaxson Stauber: Up from minors
Rotowire
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.

Stauber will guard the road goal versus the Stars on Wednesday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Blackhawks' Jaxson Stauber: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
Stauber stopped 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Canadiens.
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.

Stauber will guard the road goal Tuesday against Montreal, per the NHL media site.
Stauber has a 3-0-0 record at the NHL level this season with a 2.29 GAA and a .925 save percentage. He will get the first half of Chicago's back-to-back, which could put Petr Mrazek in net for Wednesday's contest in Toronto. The Canadiens rank 29th in the league this year with 2.64 goals per game.

Blackhawks' Jaxson Stauber: Expected to start Friday
Rotowire
Stauber is expected to start at home against Arizona on Friday, according to Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago.
Stauber, who was called up from the AHL on Sunday, has a 3.06 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 12 contests with Rockford this season. He's also made two starts for Chicago in 2022-23, and the 23-year-old has stopped 63 of 67 shots while winning both of those games.

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: Returned to AHL
Rotowire
Stauber was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Saturday.
Stauber was promoted from Rockford on Wednesday as Alex Stalock was unable to dress Thursday due to an illness. Stalock has regained health and will back up Petr Mrazek on Saturday versus Seattle. Stauber has yet to play in the NHL and was 6-4-0 with a 3.06 GAA and .896 save percentage in AHL action before his recall.

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.
