Devils sign goalie David Rittich to one-year deal worth $1 million

The New Jersey Devils signed goaltender David Rittich to a one-year, $1 million contract on July 3, 2026. This move adds competition to the goaltending position after the departure of Jacob Markstrom to the Florida Panthers. Devils GM Sunny Mehta expressed confidence in current goaltenders Jake Allen and Nico Daws, although Rittich's arrival could influence the final roster setup ahead of training camp. Rittich brings ten years of NHL experience and had a.903 save percentage over 260 career games. His prior season saw a.918 save percentage before January, followed by struggles leading to an overall mixed performance.
