The Detroit Red Wings have signed goaltender Carter Gylander to a one-year, two-way contract, according to a report from the team's official Twitter account.
Gylander, 25, is a goaltender who spent the 2025-26 season with the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL, where he posted a 17-7 record in 28 games. He maintained a save percentage of .906 and a goals-against average of 2.63. This will be his first professional contract at the NHL level, and he has yet to play in an NHL regular-season game.
The move comes as the Red Wings continue to evaluate their goaltending depth for the upcoming season. Gylander's performance in the ECHL suggests he has the potential to contribute at the NHL level, though he will likely begin the season in the minors.
With the Red Wings looking to bolster their goaltending situation, Gylander's contract provides the team with an opportunity to develop a young netminder while also adding depth to their system.
