Penguins Swing A Trade For Another Goaltender

PITTSBURGH — The Penguins have added another goaltender. Just a couple of weeks after trading goalie Alex Nedeljkovic to the San Jose Sharks, GM Kyle Dubas swung the trade to add legitimate goaltending depth. They have added Vancouver Canucks goalie Arturs Silovs, in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick and Chase Stillman, who was acquired from the New Jersey Devils in the Cody Glass trade. The 24 year old Silovs was the odd-man out in Vancouver, as he is not waiver-exempt this fall, and the Canucks signed goalies Thatcher Demko and Kevin Lahkonen to longer contracts. Silovs is 6-foot-4, 203 pounds, from Riga, Latvia. He rose to prominence in the 2023-24 playoffs when the young goalie took the Canucks’ net, leading to a comeback series win over the Nashville Predators and pushing the Edmonton Oilers to a Game 7 in Round Two.
