Stephen Gionta has agreed to an AHL deal with the Albany Devils.
He was on the team's clear-day roster in 2011-12, so he was eligible to sign with New Jersey's minor-league affiliate despite having a one-way NHL deal. Gionta had been keeping busy by skating at Prudential Center and he played in a charity game with his brother, Brian, last month in Cornwall. He is hoping to get into Albany's lineup for the team's next game on Saturday against Bridgeport.
