The New Jersey Devils<\/a> and general manager Tom Fitzgerald announced on Friday that the team has signed four players <\/a>to professional tryouts (PTOs) including forwards Kevin Rooney and Luke Glendening as well as goaltenders Georgi Romanov and Adam Scheel. <\/p>\n

Rooney, 32, is a former member of the organization, as he broke into the NHL as a member of the Devils during the 2016-2017 campaign. The Massachusetts native has appeared in 330 regular season games in his career, tallying 32 goals and 28 assists for a total of 60 points. Rooney has also played for the New York Rangers<\/a> and Calgary Flames<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glendening, a 36-year-old native of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a longtime bottom six forward who spent eight seasons as a member of the Detroit Red Wings<\/a> before moving on to stints with the Dallas Stars<\/a> and Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a>. In his 864 career contests, he\u2019s racked up 83 goals and assists alike for 166 points. <\/p>\n

Romanov was a member of the San Jose Sharks<\/a> organization for both of the past two years. In his 10 career NHL appearances, he owns a .888 save percentage and a 3.53 goals against average. While suiting up for the AHL San Jose Barracuda, he\u2019s posted a .904 save percentage and a 3.12 goals against average.<\/p>\n

Scheel is a 26-year-old with no NHL experience, but he comes from the Colorado Avalanche<\/a> organization, where he put up a 10-2-2 record and a 2.62 goals against average as a member of the AHL Colorado Eagles. The University of North Dakota alum has 101 total games worth of experience at the AHL level.<\/p>\n
