ST. LOUIS (AP) - The St. Louis Blues, seeking to add depth at the goaltender position, have signed free-agent and former Green Bay Gamblers goalie Ty Conklin.
Terms of the deal announced Wednesday were not disclosed.
The 33-year-old Conklin played in 40 games for Detroit last season, going 25-11-2 with a 2.51 goals against average and a .909 save percentage. His six shutouts tied for the sixth-most in the NHL.
The Anchorage, Alaska, native is 73-43-14 with a 2.58 goals against average and .909 save percentage in six seasons. He was originally signed by Edmonton as an undrafted free agent in 2001.
Chris Mason seized the starting job in midseason from Manny Legace and started the final 33 regular-season games and all four playoff games for the Blues.
