With only one goaltender currently under contract for next season in Alex Nedeljkovic, who’s a free agent after the 2022-23 season, the Detroit Red Wings added some depth at the position in signing Jussi Olkinuora to a one-year deal.
The native of Finland has spent the last three seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League but has experience playing in the United States skating for the Sioux Falls Stampede (USHL – 2010-11), University of Denver (NCAA – 2011-13), St. John’s IceCaps (AHL – 2013-15), Ontario Reign (ECHL – 2013-15), Manitoba Moose (AHL – 2015-16), and Tulsa Oilers (ECHL – 2015-16).
The 31-year-old has not appeared in a National Hockey League game in his career.
