Ranking New Jersey Devils Goalie Prospects After Cole Brady’s Performance

2. Gilles Senn

Gilles Senn took over the starting job for the Binghamton Devils last season. He was really, really good, especially down the stretch as the B-Devils were fighting for a playoff spot. The former 5th-round pick is the oldest player on the list despite only being taken in 2017. He’s already 24 years old, so it makes sense that Senn is the closest to being ready for NHL action.

Last season, Senn had a .901 save percentage in 27 games for Binghamton. There are games where he can absolutely dominate. The February 21st game against the Charlotte Checkers comes to mind when he stopped 47 of 48 shots en route to a 2-1 win. The Devils needed every single save he made, and he is the sole reason they were still in that game. He even stopped future teammate Janne Kuokkanen four times.

Senn is much more comfortable playing in North America, and that should translate whenever the AHL season starts. As we said, Senn is the one player on this list that could basically step into a backup role with the New Jersey Devils. However, it would be much better for him to get starting minutes in Binghamton. Now he has Scott Wedgewood in Binghamton to split time with him. This will help him grow to have an NHL veteran on the bench with him.
