After being unable to find an NHL job, former Canadiens goaltender Yann Danis has signed an AHL contract with the Montreal farm-team, the St. John’s IceCaps.
The epitome of the term journeyman, Danis has suited up for 13 different professional clubs in three different leagues in his 13-year career, never settling in with a club for any length of time. His 55 career NHL matches are spread over 10 years, with the latest coming last season with the New Jersey Devils.
In the one opportunity he had as at least a part-time starter in New York almost eight years ago, Danis put up a .910 save percentage and 2.86 goals against average in 31 games. While his career numbers are nothing that will wow you, he’s a dependable depth option to have in case of emergency.
