Devils Sign Goalie Scott Wedgewood To 2-Year Contract

NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New Jersey Devils have signed goaltender Scott Wedgewood to a two-year contract.

General manager Ray Shero announced the signing on Monday. The contract is a two-way deal, with an average annual value of $587,500. The value will depend on whether the 22-year-old plays in the NHL or in the minor leagues.

Wedgewood is entering his fourth pro season, all with the Devils. The Canadian appeared in 36 AHL games with Albany last year, recording a 13-14-6 mark with two shutouts and a 2.74 goals-against average.

Cory Schneider and Keith Kinkaid handled the goaltending for the Devils at the NHL level last season.

Wedgewood was the 84th overall selection in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
