REPORT: Jaroslav Halak on the Verge of Signing Contract with Stanley Cup Contender
Veteran Goalie Jaroslav Halak Moving to the Western Conference.
The experienced NHL goaltender Jaroslav Halak is on the verge of inking a contract with the Colorado Avalanche.
This move comes as the Avalanche's backup goalie, Pavel Francouz, grapples with a lingering injury stemming from an offseason hip problem. Recent reports suggest that Francouz's recovery may extend into a long-term absence.
Frank Seravalli, a prominent NHL insider, shared last week that the Avalanche were actively seeking a seasoned backup netminder to provide support to their starting goaltender, Alexandar Georgiev. Halak has emerged as the prime candidate to fill this role, a development confirmed by Adrian Dater, an insider closely following the Avalanche, as well as Czech-based reporter Tomas Prokop. The Avalanche organization is expected to make an official announcement regarding Halak's signing within the coming days.
What Could Jaroslav Halak Bring to the Colorado Avalanche
At 38 years of age, Halak has had a lengthy career in the NHL where he has played for 7 different teams and had himself a famous playoff run in 2010 with the Montreal Canadiens. He showcased his skills in 25 games for the New York Rangers last season, delivering a commendable performance with a 2.72 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage.
