Devils Sign Goaltender Danis to One-Year Contract

The New Jersey Devils announced that they have signed goaltender Yann Danis to a one-year contract worth $550,000. Danis appeared in 31 games last season with the New York Islanders, posting a 10-17-3 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .910 save percentage. He also played in 10 games last season with the Islanders’ AHL affiliate in Bridgeport, posting a 7-3-0 record with a 2.26 GAA and a .924 save percentage. This is an okay signing for the Devils, as they were looking to sign a solid, affordable backup goaltender to play only a handful of games behind Martin Brodeur. Danis will give the Devils adequate goaltending depth, but don’t expect to see him playing a lot of games, as Brodeur is once again likely to play in almost every game of the season.
