Goaltender Keith Kinkaid was reunited with his first National Hockey League (NHL) team, the New Jersey Devils, on Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year, two-way contract.
The 34-year-old veteran left the Devils in 2019 to sign with the Montreal Canadiens as a free agent. His stay in Quebec was short-lived and since then he has worn the colors of the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche.

Kinkaid spent most of last season in the American League. He had his best moments with the Devils, particularly in the 2017-2018 season, where he had a 26-10-3 record, a .913 efficiency percentage and a 2.77 goals-against average.
The American receives a salary of $775,000 in the NHL and $350,000 in the American League.
