Alex Auld Clears waivers, assigned to AHL

DALLAS -- Dallas Stars goalie Alex Auld was assigned to the AHL's Texas Stars on Thursday after clearing waivers.

When Auld was waived earlier this week, it provided a strong indication that starting goalie Marty Turco won't be moved before the trade deadline next week.

Turco and backup Kari Lehtonen remain on the Stars roster.

Auld, acquired in July from Ottawa, had a 3.00 goals-against average and .894 save percentage in 21 games for Dallas. He went 6-1-0 his last seven home starts.

I guess this means they'll be keeping a tandem of Turco/Lehtonen.

Strange.

Negotiating tactic?

Bob Mckenzie:

Alex Auld is on re-entry waivers. I would imagine he gets claimed this time around.

Turco sure is older than I thought he was.

Auld would be a good fit for Calgary should something happen to Kipper.
