Panthers' Anthony Stolarz: Agrees to one-year contract
Rotowire
Stolarz inked a one-year, $1.1 million contract with Florida on Saturday, per PuckPedia.
Stolarz had a 5-6-0 record, 3.73 GAA and .897 save percentage in 19 contests with Anaheim last season. He might get an opportunity to compete for the backup job in Florida, but it's also entirely possible that he'll open the campaign in the minors.

Ducks' Anthony Stolarz: Activated from IR
Rotowire
Stolarz (knee) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
Stolarz underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in March and was given a 6-to-8-week timeline to recover. While it appears he was a little behind that estimate, he's still likely to be fine for training camp in September. Stolarz is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and he'll likely have to settle for a backup role regardless of which team he signs with.

Ducks' Anthony Stolarz: Done for rest of 2022-23
Rotowire
Stolarz will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery Tuesday, Lisa Dillman of The Orange County Register reports.
Stolarz is expected to need 6-to-8 weeks to recover, so he should be ready for the 2023-24 campaign with plenty of time to spare. For what's left of the season though, Lukas Dostal is likely to remain with the Ducks and serve as their No. 2 goaltender behind John Gibson. Stolarz will finish 2022-23 with a 5-6-0 record, 3.73 GAA and .897 save percentage in 19 games.

Ducks' Anthony Stolarz: Not going on trip
Rotowire
Stolarz (lower body) won't travel with the Ducks on their upcoming road trip, Lisa Dillman of The Orange County Register reports.
The Ducks will be on the road for their next four games, so this suggests Stolarz won't return before Feb. 27 versus the Blackhawks at the earliest. John Gibson will likely handle most of the goaltending duties on a tough trip, while Lukas Dostal will be his backup. It's unclear if Stolarz will be ready once the Ducks are back home.

Ducks' Anthony Stolarz: Wins in overtime
Rotowire
Stolarz stopped 27 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
With the Ducks facing a team about as ineffective as themselves, Stolarz had a slightly easier appearance. He gave up both goals in a back-and-forth second period, but he was able to get the win when Frank Vatrano scored in overtime. Stolarz has won three of his last five starts, and he's now at 5-6-0 with a 3.73 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 19 outings. The Ducks' next game is Friday versus the Penguins, but it'll likely be John Gibson between the pipes for that one.

Ducks' Anthony Stolarz: Turns aside 37 shots in win
Rotowire
Stolarz allowed two goals on 39 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.
The Ducks took a lead late in the first period and never looked back. Stolarz was pulled from his last outing versus the Blue Jackets, but he bounced back in a big way this time. The 29-year-old is up to 4-6-0 with a 3.88 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 18 appearances this season. He's carved out a bit more playing time lately, though it remains difficult to trust both Stolarz and John Gibson behind the Ducks' leaky defense.

Ducks' Anthony Stolarz: Facing Coyotes
Rotowire
Stolarz will guard the road goal Tuesday versus the Coyotes.
John Gibson's continued struggles have opened the door for more playing time for Stolarz, who will make his fifth appearance of January. He's given up 11 goals on 110 shots this month, but a matchup with the Coyotes is a solid place for fantasy managers looking to utilize the 29-year-old in a spot start.

Rotowire
Stolarz allowed four goals on 38 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Philadelphia.
It was a rough night for Stolarz, as the Ducks were outshot 39 to 27. The 28-year-old netminder has just one win in his last 10 starts as he falls to 3-6-0 with an .893 save percentage. Stolarz doesn't have much fantasy value while backing up John Gibson on a last-place Anaheim team.

Ducks' Anthony Stolarz: Perfect in relief
Rotowire
Stolarz made 16 saves in relief of John Gibson in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Oilers.
The Oilers eased up ever so slightly in the third period after torching Gibson for six goals on 37 shots over the first two frames. Stolarz did well to keep things from getting any worse. It's the third time he's kept goals off the board in a relief outing. The 28-year-old remains at 3-5-0 with a 3.88 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 15 appearances (eight starts) this season. Both of the Ducks' goalies have similar numbers -- there's little either of them can do behind a defense that is giving up an average of 38.8 shots per game.

Ducks' Anthony Stolarz: Wins in overtime
Rotowire
Stolarz allowed four goals on 41 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.
Stolarz's last win was Nov. 12, and he spent the last three weeks of December sidelined by a lower-body injury. This wasn't the prettiest of performances, but it was enough for the win, though Stolarz continues to face high shot totals when he plays. The 28-year-old improved to 3-5-0 with a 4.01 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 14 contests. Expect John Gibson to tend the twine in an extremely difficult matchup with the Bruins on Sunday.
