In a surprise move, Calgary Flames goaltender David Rittich has signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the New Jersey Devils. The deal marks a significant change of scenery for Rittich, who had been a key player in the Flames' crease for several seasons. Rittich's departure from Calgary comes after a tumultuous 2022-2023 season, which saw the team miss the playoffs. The 31-year-old goaltender will look to revive his career in New Jersey, where he'll face stiff competition from incumbent starter Vitek Vanecek and fellow netminder Akira Schmid.
