It was announced today that General Manager Tom Fitzgerald of the New Jersey Devils has signed former Detroit Red Wings forward Luke Glendening.
Luke Glendening was a Grand Rapids, Michigan-born hockey player.
He was originally undrafted and began his professional hockey career during the 2013-14 season with the Detroit Red Wings.
He would remain on the Red Wings roster until the 2020-21 season, when he'd sign a deal with the Dallas Stars in July 2021.
Afterwards, he'd spend two seasons in Dallas and join the Tampa Bay Lightning soon after.
Now, the former Red Wing is becoming a journeyman, as he signed a contract with the New Jersey Devils today.

Glendening played a total of 12 years in the NHL and played for four different teams. Will this be the year he helped Sheldon Keefe win a Stanley Cup?
The depth forward is a former Michigan Wolverine and worked his way up the ranks from the ECHL with the Toledo Walleye to the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins, up to Detroit.
Now, he'll play another year in the best hockey league in the world.
