NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The New Jersey Devils have signed forward Sergey Kalinin to an entry-level contract.
General Manager Ray Shero announced the deal without disclosing details on Friday.

Kalinin has represented Russia at the 2011 World Junior Championships in Buffalo, New York, and at the 2014 World Championships in Belarus, winning gold medals.
