Evan Cormier News


Cormier was the fourth-round pick of the New Jersey Devils in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. The 26-year-old netminder has never played an NHL game and has struggled with the Charlotte Checkers (AHL) this season, posting a 3.78 GAA and .868 SV% in five games (1-2-2).

Cormier came up to serve as Louis Domingue's backup last night but will swap spots with Cory Schneider ahead of tonight's meeting with the Lightning.

With Mackenzie Blackwood out with an upper-body injury, Cormier comes up to be the backup. He has played nine games in both the AHL and ECHL this season and has never appeared in an NHL game.

Cormier served as Mackenzie Blackwood's backup during his time with the Devils and returns to the AHL, where he has gone 1-5-1 with a 3.77 GAA and .884 SV% in seven games.
