Red Wings goalie Jack Campbell enters NHL/NHLPA player assistance program
TORONTO — Detroit Red Wings goalie Jack Campbell is entering the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program, the league and union announced Sunday.
Campbell will be away from the team indefinitely while he receives care from the program.
The 32-year-old from Port Huron, Mich., signed a one-year, US$775,000 contract with the Red Wings in July after previously playing for the Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Los Angeles Kings and Dallas Stars.
Campbell split last season between the Oilers and the American Hockey League’s Bakersfield Condors.
