Keith Kinkaid - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Signs minor-league deal Kinkaid inked a one-year, minor-league contract with AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.

Impact Kinkaid had started the preseason on a professional tryout deal with the Islanders but it seems he will be heading south to link up with the Checkers. The fact that the 35-year-old backstop is on a minor-league-only deal means that Kinkaid won't be suiting up in the NHL this season -- unless somebody comes calling with an NHL-level contract.

Named to rookie camp roster Kinkaid will be on the ice with the Islanders' prospects after being named to the rookie camp roster Thursday and signing a professional tryout agreement, per Andrew Gross of Newsd...

Impact Even if Kinkaid were to land a contract with the Islanders, it would almost certainly be a two-way deal or a minor-league-only contract considering Semyon Varlamov and Ilya Sorokin are cemented as the NHL duo heading into the 2024-25 campaign. As such, don't expect Kinkaid to offer much in the way of fantasy value this season.

Designated for waivers Kinkaid (undisclosed) was placed on waivers for the purpose of reassignment Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact Per NHL rules, Kinkaid has to be medically cleared before he can be waived or reassigned. While the veteran backstop has played sparingly at the NHL level the last few seasons, he saw action in just two games last year, there are a handful of teams that could be in the market, including the Edmonton Oilers, who aren't exactly getting solid netminding out of either of their current goalies. If Kinkaid goes unclaimed, he will link up with AHL Utica for the time being.

Surfaces on IR Kinkaid (undisclosed) was moved to the non-roster injured reserve Monday.

Impact Kinkaid was injured early in the preseason and will be stashed away to begin the regular season. He appeared in just two NHL games last year and will likely begin his 2023-24 season at the AHL level once healthy.

Not practicing Wednesday Kinkaid (undisclosed) isn't on the ice for Wednesday's practice, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Kinkaid suffered an injury Monday versus Montreal, and at this point it isn't clear how long he might be sidelined. Either way, once healthy, look for the veteran netminder to start the season in the AHL.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Inks two-way deal Kinkaid signed a one-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Wednesday.

Impact Kinkaid's salary will be $350,000 if he plays in the AHL, and it'll jump to $775,000 at the NHL level. The 34-year-old has a 70-58-21 record, 2.91 GAA and .905 save percentage in 169 career NHL outings. He'll probably start the campaign in the AHL, but he might spend time with New Jersey if Vitek Vanecek or Akira Schmid sustain an injury during the 2023-24 campaign.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Links up with AHL Chicago Kinkaid signed a one-year contract with AHL Chicago on Tuesday.

Impact Chicago will operate independently this season, so Kinkaid will have no direct path back to an NHL deal. The 34-year-old split time between the Avalanche and the Bruins last season, playing in one game for each of those NHL clubs while spending the bulk of the campaign in the minors. Kinkaid will still be free to ink an NHL deal if he shows well with the Wolves.

Sent down Kinkaid was assigned to AHL Colorado on Sunday.

Impact Kinkaid had been serving as a depth goalie for the Avalanche during the playoffs. The defending Stanley Cup champions were eliminated in Game 7 by Seattle on Sunday, so Kinkaid will report back to Colorado's minor-league affiliate.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joining playoff roster Kinkaid was called up from AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Impact Kinkaid will serve as the Avalanche's third goalie during the postseason. It's unlikely the 33-year-old sees much playing time unless both of Alexandar Georgiev and Pavel Francouz are unavailable.

APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dropped to AHL Kinkaid was demoted to AHL Colorado on Sunday.

Impact Kinkaid stopped eight stops in relief during his Avalanche debut Saturday against Dallas. The 33-year-old should be recalled before Tuesday's tilt with the Sharks if Pavel Francouz (lower body) is still out.

Allows one in relief Kinkaid made eight saves in relief in a 7-3 loss to Dallas on Saturday. He allowed one goal.

Impact Kinkaid entered the game in the second period and played 27:57 in his Avalanche debut. The only goal he allowed came early in the third period when Wyatt Johnston stole the puck from Avs' forward Denis Malgin and slid it under his left pad. Kinkaid's only other NHL game this season -- a win -- came Nov. 12 with the Bruins.

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Up with Avalanche Kinkaid was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday.

Impact Kinkaid was acquired from Boston last Saturday in exchange for Shane Bowers. The 33-year-old netminder will probably back up Alexandar Georgiev on Saturday versus Dallas due to the absence of Pavel Francouz (lower body).
