Jaxson Stauber (born April 27, 1999) is an American professional ice hockey player who is a goaltender for the Tucson Roadrunners of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Utah Mammoth of the National Hockey League (NHL). He played college ice hockey for the Providence Friars.

Playing career

Stauber played for the Sioux Falls Stampede of the United States Hockey League (USHL) from 2017 until 2019 when he committed to play for the Minnesota State Mavericks. He played one game with Minnesota State and returned to the Stampede on November 26, 2019.[1] On February 9, 2020, Stauber committed to play for the Providence Friars.[2]

After two seasons with Providence College, Stauber opted to turn professional and on March 23, 2022, signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Chicago Blackhawks.[3][4] In his NHL debut on January 21, 2023, Stauber made 29 saves in the Blackhawks' 5–3 win over the St. Louis Blues.[5] Stauber later became the first Blackhawks goaltender to start his NHL career with a 3–0–0 record following subsequent wins over the Calgary Flames and Arizona Coyotes.[6]

During the 2023–24 season, on February 16, 2024, Stauber became the first AHL goaltender to score a goal and record a shutout in the same game en route to the Rockford IceHogs' 4–0 win over the Chicago Wolves.[7]

As a free agent from the Blackhawks, Stauber was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Utah Mammoth (the then Utah Hockey Club) on July 5, 2024.[8] On November 30, Stauber recorded his first NHL shutout in a 6–0 win over the Vegas Golden Knights.[9]
