05/21/2012 17:30 Ducks sign Swedish goalie of the year Viktor Fasth to one-year contract
The Anaheim Ducks announced on Monday they have signed Swedish goalie Viktor Fasth to a one-year contract that is reportedly worth $1 million. He was the goalie of the year in Sweden in each of the past two seasons.
Ellis went 21-10-7 in 44 games played (37 starts) splitting time between the Lightning and the Ducks last season while carrying a .898 save percentage and 2.77 GAA. The veteran backup could be called upon as the No. 1 netminder if Jonas Hiller remains sidelined by vertigo again this season. If he lands in the starting role, Ellis' win potential alone would make him a viable option in all formats, but Hiller's health will go a long way toward establishing his fantasy value.
