The Philadelphia Flyers have signed goaltender Eetu Makiniemi to a one-year, two-way contract.
Makiniemi had been in training camp on a tryout with the Flyers. He stopped 13 of 14 shots in Monday’s preseason loss at Montreal.
Makiniemi appeared in 18 games for the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda last season, going 8-8-0 with a 3.14 goals-against average, a .900 save percentage and three shutouts.
Over three seasons with San Jose and Chicago, Makiniemi has made 54 AHL appearances and has a record of 27-20-4, a 2.77 GAA, a .906 save percentage and seven shutouts.
Makiniemi was a fourth-round pick by Carolina in the 2017 NHL Draft. He made his NHL debut with San Jose in 2022-23, appearing in two games.
