Devin Cooley

Cooley has spent almost his entire professional career in the minors, save for six games with San Jose in 2023-24, in which he posted a 4.98 GAA and an .870 save percentage. The Sharks were a rebuilding team, and two of those six appearances were good -- he even made 49 saves en route to a 3-1 win over Seattle on April 11, 2024 -- but given that's all the NHL action the 28-year-old has on his resume, it's hard to be too optimistic about his prospects. Although he will get a look during training camp, his best-case scenario is beating Ivan Prosvetov for the No. 2 gig behind Dustin Wolf. Prosvetov had a strong 2024-25 in the KHL, so the odds aren't in Cooley's favor, but if he does secure the understudy role, then perhaps he'll make 20-30 starts this year. Read Past Outlooks
