Jakub Malek News: Agrees to two-year pact

Published on July 6, 2026

Malek signed a two-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Monday.

Malek spent the bulk of the 2025-26 regular season with AHL Utica, posting a 13-14-3 record with a 2.75 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 31 appearances. He also went 1-0-1 with a 1.91 GAA and a .930 save percentage in two regular-season outings with ECHL Adirondack last year. He will probably begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors.
