The New Jersey Devils are bringing goaltender Michael Hutchinson and defenseman Jakub Zboril in for professional tryouts, the team announced Thursday.

Both are expected to report on Sept. 18 for training camp.


Hutchinson, 34, a third-round pick of the Boston Bruins in the 2008 draft, lost his only NHL appearance last season with the Detroit Red Wings. Over 11 seasons, he is 57-62-18 with a 2.94 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage for the Winnipeg Jets (2013-18), followed by stints with the Florida Panthers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Colorado Avalanche, Columbus Blue Jackets and Red Wings.

Zboril, 27, was a Bruins' first-round pick (13th overall) in the 2015 draft, and has one goal and 15 assists in 76 career games with Boston since debuting in the 2018-19 season.
