Associated Press
The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired goaltender Arturs Silovs in a trade with Vancouver Canucks Sunday in exchange for forward Chase Stillman and a 2027 fourth-round pick
Silovs, 24, is signed through the 2025-26 season and his contract carries an average annual value of $850,000.
A native of Latvia, Silovs has appeared in 19 games with Vancouver over three seasons compiling a 3.13 goals-against average and .880 save percentage since 2022.
He is coming off a career season with the Abbotsford Canucks of the American Hockey League where he led the team to the Calder Cup Championship as Playoff MVP.
Silovs had a 16-7 record in 24 games with a 2.01 goals-against average and .931 save percentage in the AHL playoffs. His five shutouts in the playoffs were one shy of the AHL all-time record in one playoff run, and he became just the fourth goaltender to be named the Playoff MVP.
