A former New Jersey Devils third-round pick has taken his game overseas.
Defenseman Reilly Walsh has signed overseas, per his agent Matt Keator.
The 26-year-old has signed a contract with the Barys Astana of the KHL after five seasons in the American Hockey League (AHL). He most recently played for the Ontario Reign, where he collected 32 points in 70 games.
Drafted in 2017, the 6-0, 192-pound blueliner spent three seasons with the Devils. On June 26, 2023, New Jersey traded Walsh to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Shane Bowers. As a free agent, he signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Los Angeles Kings, where he was assigned to the Reign.
With the Binghamton Devils and Utica Comets (AHL), Walsh earned 99 points, including 23 goals. He made his NHL debut with New Jersey on April 26, 2022, against the Ottawa Senators and earned his first NHL assist.
