Devils Sign Luke Glendening to One-Year, One-Way Contract at $775,000

The veteran center earned a deal out of a PTO to reinforce New Jersey’s strength on faceoffs.

Overview

  • The club announced Tuesday that Glendening, 36, agreed to a one-year pact that pays $775,000 in the NHL and the same amount if assigned to the AHL.
  • Glendening converted his professional tryout after appearing in six preseason games for New Jersey and recording two points.
  • He brings 12 NHL seasons of experience, a 55.8% career faceoff win rate, and 864 games with Detroit, Dallas, and Tampa Bay, including the last two seasons with the Lightning.
  • The move follows fellow PTO center Kevin Rooney leaving camp to sign with the Utah Mammoth.
  • Roster decisions continue for other PTOs, with the depth goaltending slot behind Nico Daws and Jakub Malek contested by Adam Scheel and Georgi Romanov.
