Campbell was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Campbell was recalled under emergency conditions with Cam Talbot (lower body) unavailable though didn't see any game action. With Alex Lyon (lower body) also expected back soon, the 32-year-old Campbell could be in for an extended stay in the minors.

Campbell was called up from AHL Grand Rapids under emergency conditions Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Campbell will get the call this time around, as the Red Wings will be without Cam Talbot (lower body) and Alex Lyon (lower body) on Saturday versus the Maple Leafs. Sebastian Cossa will stay in the AHL this time after previously getting called up to cover when injuries struck Detroit's crease earlier in December. Lyon could be back as soon as Wednesday versus the Flyers, so it's likely Campbell's stay in the NHL will be a short one.

Campbell (not injury related) was placed on waivers Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Campbell signed a one-year deal with Detroit before entering the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program. If he clears waivers, Campbell will likely report to AHL Grand Rapids as a depth option for the Red Wings. The 32-year-old netminder made five appearances with Edmonton last season, going 1-4-0 with an .873 save percentage.

Campbell will be away from the Red Wings indefinitely after entering the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Campbell signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Red Wings over the summer. He joined a crowded Detroit goalie situation that also includes Ville Husso, Cam Talbot and Alex Lyon. Campbell had a 2.63 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 33 regular-season contests with AHL Bakersfield in 2023-24 after struggling with Edmonton during the early portion of the campaign, posting a 4.50 GAA and an .873 save percentage across five appearances from Oct. 11-Nov. 4. When Campbell is ready to play, he will likely spend time with AHL Grand Rapids.

Campbell signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Red Wings on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Campbell is an interesting case. He struggled mightily early in the 2023-24 season, posting a 4.49 GAA and an .873 save percentage across five starts with Edmonton. The Oilers sent him to AHL Bakersfield, and although Campbell did well at that level with a 2.63 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 33 regular-season appearances, he never got another shot with Edmonton. Instead, the Oilers bought out the final three campaigns of his five-year, $25 million deal, which is how he became an unrestricted free agent eligible to sign with Detroit. Campbell will enter training camp looking to revive his career, but he'll face stiff competition for a roster spot with Ville Husso, Cam Talbot and Alex Lyon also under contract. At least one of Detroit's goalies is likely to be traded or waived prior to Opening Night, with Campbell's path to making the roster the longest of the four.

Campbell was placed on unconditional waivers by the Oilers on Sunday for the purpose of buying out his contract.

EDGE Analysis

Campbell had three more seasons left on his five-year, $25 million deal. He will become an unrestricted free agent once the buyout process is completed. The 32-year-old netminder posted a 1-4-0 record with a 4.50 GAA and an .873 save percentage in five regular-season appearances with Edmonton in 2023-24. He went 18-13-1 with a 2.63 GAA and a .918 save percentage across 33 regular-season contests for AHL Bakersfield after being waived and demoted to the minors in November.

Campbell was promoted from AHL Bakersfield on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

AHL Bakersfield was knocked out of the Calder Cup playoffs so Campbell will likely be serving as the third goalie for the Oilers. He went 1-4-0 with an .873 save percentage at the NHL level this season and hasn't appeared in a game at the top level since Nov. 4.

Campbell has a .935 save percentage in his last seven games with AHL Bakersfield, per Mark Spector of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Edmonton general manager Ken Holland allowed Campbell to play right away after he was demoted by the Oilers on Nov. 8. "In hindsight, I think I made a mistake that when I sent him down. Probably should not have had him play right off the bat," Holland said. Campbell was 1-4-0 with a 4.49 GAA and a .873 save percentage before his demotion and started poorly in the AHL, losing four of his first five games while giving up 16 goals on 138 shots. He could return to the Oilers to back up Stuart Skinner and if he does, look for Calvin Pickard to return to the AHL.

Campbell went unclaimed off the waiver wire and was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's an indication of how poorly Campbell has played this season that no other team was willing to put in a claim for the netminder. On the year, the backstop is 1-4-0 with a career-worst 4.49 GAA and .873 save percentage. No doubt Campbell's $5 million cap hit played a factor as well. In a corresponding move, Calvin Pickard has been added to the NHL roster.

Campbell was placed on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Bakersfield.

EDGE Analysis

In 41 games since signing a five-year, $25 million contract with the Oilers in July of 2022, Campbell has posted a 22-13-4 record with one shutout, a 3.53 GAA and an .886 save percentage. He has a registered a mark of 1-4-0 this campaign with a 4.50 GAA and an .873 save percentage through five appearances. Once Campbell is claimed or clears, Edmonton is expected to bring up netminder Calvin Pickard to serve as Stuart Skinner's backup.
