Scott Wedgewood (born August 14, 1992 in Brampton , Ontario ) is a Canadian ice hockey goalkeeper who has been under contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the National Hockey League since July 2019 and for their farm team, the Syracuse Crunch , in the American Hockey League is used.
Career
Scott Wedgewood began his career with Brampton MHA in the city of his birth. For the 2007/08 season he joined the Mississauga Senators from the Greater Toronto Minor Midget Hockey League, a junior league of the lower class. After the Plymouth Whalers had drawn him at the OHL Priority Selection 2008 in the seventh round as 130th player, he played the following four years for the Michigan team in the Ontario Hockey League . In the 2010 NHL Entry Draft , the New Jersey Devils selected him in the third round as the 84th player in the draft.
In March 2012, he received a contract with the team from the American east coast metropolis, but was assigned to the farm team Albany Devils from the American Hockey League . In his first season in the Devils franchise , he mainly played for the then ECHL team Trenton Titans and only made five appearances in the AHL. After the Titans stopped playing in 2013, he mainly played for the Albany Devils, for whom he has now played over 100 AHL games. On March 20, 2016, he made his NHL debut against the Columbus Blue Jackets and contributed to the 2-1 success of the New Jersey Devils with 27 saves. During the season he came to three more missions. He achieved his first NHL shutout on his second mission on March 24, 2016 against the Pittsburgh Penguins .
After a total of five years in the organization of the New Jersey Devils, Wedgewood was handed over to the Arizona Coyotes in October 2017 in exchange for a five-round vote in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft . With the Coyotes, the Canadian promptly established himself in the NHL line-up before he was transferred to the Los Angeles Kings together with Tobias Rieder in February 2018 . The Kings sent Darcy Kuemper to Arizona for this .
In the summer of 2018, Wedgewood did not receive a continuing contract in Los Angeles, so he signed a one-year contract with the Buffalo Sabers as a free agent in July 2018 . There he lost the internal competition against Carter Hutton and Linus Ullmark , so that he was sent to the AHL to the Rochester Americans before the start of the season . As a result, he remained without NHL use that season and joined the Tampa Bay Lightning again as a free agent in July 2019 .
International
Wedgewood played with the Canadian U20 selection at the 2012 World Cup for this age group and won the bronze medal with the team. In addition, after his compatriot Mark Visentin and the Russian Andrei Wassilewski, he achieved the third best goal against goal of the tournament.
