The Tampa Bay Lightning announced on Monday that they’ve signed goaltender Scott Wedgewood to a one-year, two-way contract.

Wedgewood, 26, spent the 2018-19 campaign with the Rochester Americans (AHL affiliate of the Buffalo Sabres) where he posted a record of 28-14-2 and registered a 2.68 GAA and .908 save percentage. He hit career-highs in games played (48), wins and shutouts (five).

The 2010 third-round pick (Devils) has appeared in 24 NHL games with the Devils and Arizona Coyotes, with a career record of 7-10-5, 3.05 GAA, and .903 save percentage.

Wedgewood is one of three goaltenders signed by the Lightning on Monday. The club also inked Curtis McElhinney to a two-year deal, and brought in Spencer Martin on a one-year, two-way pact.
