Goalie Dylan Wells penned a one-year, two-way contract with Chicago on Wednesday.

Wells has played three games on a minor-league deal for AHL Rockford this season in which he is 1-1-0 with a .862 save percentage and 4.27 GAA. 

With Alex Stalock (concussion) in doubt, the Blackhawks found themselves desperately short of NHL-eligible netminders, forcing them to sign Wells to a two-way deal that would allow him to be called up to Chicago.

The Blackhawks put Seth Jones on injured reserve this week. In addition to Jones being out, Ian Mitchell, Boris Katchouk, Tyler Johnson, and Petr Mrazek are all out. 

The Chicago Blackhawks will try to stop their four-game slide when they take on the Los Angeles Kings tonight in Chicago. 

The matchup tonight is the fourth time these teams meet this season. The Kings won 4-1 in the previous meeting.
