Devils Sign Rittich Amidst Goaltender Shake-up
3 Jul
Summary
- Rittich signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Devils.
- He had a 2.76 GAA and .894 save percentage with the Islanders.
- He's expected to share goaltending duties with Jake Allen.
David Rittich has officially joined the New Jersey Devils, signing a one-year contract valued at $1 million. This agreement was finalized on Thursday, according to PuckPedia.
The 34-year-old netminder brings a record of 14-10-3 from his previous season with the Islanders, where he recorded a 2.76 goals-against average and a .894 save percentage.
His signing addresses a void created by the recent trade of Jacob Markstrom to Florida. Rittich is anticipated to share goaltending responsibilities with Jake Allen starting the 2026-27 season.
Nico Daws, another goaltender on the Devils' roster, could also contend for playing time, particularly if he impresses during training camp.
