Red Wings' Campbell enters player assistance program

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jack Campbell entered the player assistance program, the NHL and NHLPA announced Friday.

Campbell signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Red Wings this summer. He will be unavailable for an indefinite period while receiving care and will return once cleared by the program administrators.

The 32-year-old was bought out of the final three seasons of his contract with the Edmonton Oilers. He signed a five-year, $25-million pact with Edmonton in 2022.

Campbell played five games for Edmonton last season. He had a 1-4-0 record and a .874 save percentage before he was placed on waivers in November. He played the rest of the season with the AHL's Bakersfield Condors, where he had a .918 SV% in 33 appearances.

Before arriving in Edmonton, Campbell featured with the Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings, and Toronto Maple Leafs. He's played 176 NHL games over parts of nine seasons and has a career .909 SV%.
