Devils sign goalie David Rittich to one-year deal
Summary

The New Jersey Devils have signed veteran goaltender David Rittich to a one-year, one-way contract worth $1 million. Rittich, 33, played 30 games for the New York Islanders last season, achieving a 2.76 GAA and.894 SV%. The move comes after GM Sunny Mehta expressed interest in providing depth in the goaltending position, as the team currently also has Nico Daws and Jake Allen. Rittich's analytics suggest he contributed positively last season, with +4.2 goals saved above expected. The Devils still hold significant cap space for further roster enhancements as the season approaches.
