Devils trade Wedgewood to Coyotes for 5th-round pick

The Arizona Coyotes have bolstered their goaltending depth, acquiring Scott Wedgewood from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a fifth-round pick in 2018, the team announced Saturday.

Wedgewood, 25, has played in just four NHL games (all coming in 2015-16), but he owns a 1.25 goals-against average and a .957 save percentage in that small sample.

In 110 career AHL games, Wedgewood is is 51-36-9-8 with a 2.35 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage.

The Coyotes have already gone through three goaltenders this season. Starter Antti Raanta has battled a lower-body injury, making only three starts. In his place, both Louis Domingue and Adin Hill have struggled.

The two clubs are set to square off Saturday night in New Jersey, so Wedgewood will simply have to make the trip across the hallway of the Prudential Center to get acquainted with his new teammates.
