The Stars have retained some goaltending depth, announcing the re-signing of Landon Bow to a one-year, two-way contract. CapFriendly reports that the contract will be worth $700K at the NHL and contains $110K in guaranteed money.
Bow spent last season as the third-string netminder in Dallas and that’s as high on the depth chart as he’ll be able to get next year with Ben Bishop and Anton Khudobin both returning. He played in 46 games with AHL Texas, posting a 2.89 GAA with a .893 SV%. The 23-year-old also made his NHL debut, getting into a pair of games with the Stars.
Bow could very well serve in a lesser role for 2019-20. 2017 first-round pick Jake Oettinger turned pro at the end of last season and got into six games with Texas soon after. It’s likely that Dallas will want to give him the bulk of the starts to aid in his development which could force Bow into a reserve role. Even so, it’s possible that he could be the first one recalled in the event that Bishop or Khudobin get injured rather than have Oettinger come up and sit on the bench most nights.
