Detroit Red Wings Goalie Jack Campbell Enters NHL Player Assistance Program

Campbell will be away from the team indefinitely to receive care, with potential return upon clearance.

  • Jack Campbell, 32, signed with the Red Wings for the league minimum after being bought out by the Edmonton Oilers.
  • He was expected to start the season with the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins due to Detroit's crowded goalie roster.
  • Campbell is the first player this fall to join the assistance program, which addresses issues like mental health and substance abuse.
  • The program maintains confidentiality and only announces participation when a player is unavailable for team duties.
  • Campbell has played for five NHL teams, including the Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Edmonton Oilers.
