The Maple Leafs released Gillies from his PTO on Thursday. - The 30-year-old netminder did not see any action in preseason games with the Maple Leafs. Gillies did not play at any level last season.

Gillies signed a professional tryout agreement with Toronto on Tuesday. - Gillies has compiled a record of 8-16-3 with a 3.39 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 35 career NHL appearances for Calgary, St. Louis, New Jersey and Columbus. He will get a look during training camp, but securing a contract could be difficult after he didn't see any playing time during the 2023-24 season. |

Gillies is expected to guard the home crease against the Sabres on Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. - Gillies has appeared in two games with Columbus this year, during which he's surrendered six goals on 39 shots.

Gillies allowed three goals on 12 shots coming in relief in the Blue Jackets' 8-1 loss to the Devils on Thursday. - After Michael Hutchinson got pulled early in the third period, Gillies did not fare much better, allowing three goals on just 12 shots. This was just Gilles' second appearance of the season, allowing three goals in both games. He should continue to serve as the backup until Elvis Merzlikins returns. |

Gillies was called up from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. - Gillies has played in just one game for the Jackets this season, in which he made 24 saves in a winning effort over the Senators, and will now switch places with Jet Greaves, who was sent down in a corresponding move. As long as Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) remains unavailable, the Jackets will likely continue to rotate their netminders to give everybody in the organization a look. |

Gillies stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators. - Gillies struggled early in his first outing of the season, allowing three goals in the first period, but he settled down and blanked Ottawa the rest of the way en route to a 4-3 overtime victory. The 29-year-old netminder went 3-10-2 last season with an .887 save percentage in 20 appearances between St. Louis and New Jersey. Gillies should continue to back up Michael Hutchinson while Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) is sidelined. |

| March 26, 2023 |
Gillies was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Sunday. - The 28-year-old's promotion could mean that Elvis Merzlikins (leg) is expected to miss some time. Gillies was acquired from Arizona as organizational depth earlier this month. |
None |
| Oct. 9, 2022 |
Gillies was waived by Arizona on Sunday, Craig reports. - Gillies was in the mix for the backup goalie role at training camp, but was among the Coyotes' roster cuts Sunday. He is expected to be assigned to the minors if he clears. Gillies played in 20 NHL contests last year with St. Louis and New Jersey, going 3-10-2 with a 3.70 GAA and an .887 save percentage. |
None |
| Oct. 8, 2022 |
Gillies will start for Arizona for Saturday's preseason game against Vegas. - Karel Vejmelka will serve as the backup. He had a 3-10-2 record, 3.70 GAA, and .887 save percentage in 20 games with St. Louis and New Jersey in 2021-22. |
None |
| April 28, 2022 |
Gillies stopped all six shots he faced after replacing the ineffective Andrew Hammond in the third period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to Carolina. - The Devils outscored the Hurricanes 2-0 during Gillies' time in the game, but Carolina dominated 6-1 prior to that point. New Jersey has just one game left, so Gillies will likely finish the season with a 3-10-2 record, 3.70 GAA and .887 save percentage. |
None |
| April 23, 2022 |
Gillies will start between the pipes in Saturday's home game versus Carolina, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports. - Gillies hasn't started in goal since March 19 versus Edmonton, when he surrendered five goals on 39 shots en route to a 6-3 defeat. He'll try to pick up his fourth win of the year in a tough home matchup with a Hurricanes team that's 22-12-4 on the road this season. |
None |
| March 31, 2022 |
Gillies made 17 saves in relief after taking the net against the Bruins at the 9:01 mark of the second period in Thursday's 8-1 loss. He allowed three goals. - The Devils were on their heels from the opening minute and never recovered, and starter Nico Daws was chased with the Bruins up 5-1. Daws had made five straight starts, so Gillies could be in line for a start very soon. The Devils play back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday against the Panthers and Islanders. |

Gillies will guard the road cage during Saturday's matchup with the Oilers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Gillies struggled in his last start Feb. 25 versus Chicago, allowing six goals on 35 shots en route to an 8-5 loss. He'll try to snap his personal three-game losing streak in a road matchup with an Edmonton team that's averaging 3.40 goals per game at home this season, 10th in the NHL. |
None |
| March 16, 2022 |
Gillies stopped 19 of 20 shots in relief of Nico Daws in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Flames. - Gillies faced the team that selected him in the third round of the 2012 draft, and he fared pretty well over the final half of the contest. He's made relief appearances in the last two games, allowing three goals on 30 shots. Gillies remains at 3-9-1 with a 3.64 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 16 appearances, though it seems likely he'll start Saturday in Edmonton after Daws has struggled in the first two games of the Devils' road trip. |
None |
| Feb. 26, 2022 |
Gillies stopped 29 of 35 shots in Friday's 8-5 loss to Chicago. - Even with two empty-net goals not counting against his stats, this was a rough night for Gillies. The Devils actually tied the game at 4-4 midway through the third period, but two Chicago tallies in a 41-second span soon afterward spelled the difference. Gillies has lost three straight starts while coughing up 15 goals, and his 3.70 GAA and .887 save percentage on the season make him ripe to be passed up on the depth chart by prospect Nico Daws if the 21-year-old plays well. |
None |
| Feb. 15, 2022 |
Gillies will guard the home goal Tuesday versus the Lightning. - Gillies is set to make his fourth straight start. In the last three games, he's gone 2-1-0 with eight goals allowed on 96 shots. The 28-year-old is likely to be challenged against the Lightning's dangerous offense, so he's a risky fantasy play Tuesday. |
None |
| Feb. 13, 2022 |
Gillies will defend the blue paint Sunday against visiting Pittsburgh, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports. - Gillies has posted a 3-6-1 record with a 3.24 GAA and .899 save percentage over 11 appearances this season. The 28-year-old stopped 19 of 22 shots en route to a 3-2 loss to the Penguins on Dec. 19. He is currently on a two-game win streak. As visitors, Pittsburgh has gone 16-5-3 alongside averages of 33.2 shots on goal and 3.33 goals for, ranking eight in both categories. |

Gillies will protect the road goal Thursday against the Blues, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Gillies will get the start against the team he began the season with. With Mackenzie Blackwood still out, Gillies has stepped in as a No. 1 option, but the latter has a tough matchup Thursday and can probably be avoided in most fantasy formats. |
None |
| Feb. 8, 2022 |
Gillies will guard the road goal Tuesday versus the Canadiens. - Nico Daws struggled in Monday's loss to the Senators, so it'll be Gillies' turn in goal in the second half of a back-to-back. The 28-year-old Gillies has posted a poor 1-6-0 record with a 3.50 GAA and an .889 save percentage in eight games with the Devils this season, but the Canadiens are among the worst teams in the league, giving him a good chance of success. |
None |
| Feb. 1, 2022 |
Gillies will guard the home goal Tuesday versus the Maple Leafs. - Gillies backed up Akira Schmid in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Leafs, so it's not surprising to see the former draw the start. Gillies has lost his last three decisions, allowing nine goals across four appearances. The Maple Leafs pose a notable threat for any goal with their top-heavy offense. |
None |
| Jan. 30, 2022 |
Gillies made 21 saves on 23 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes on Saturday. - Gillies did his best in this one, but that was not quite enough against the Canes. The 28-year-old has lost back-to-back starts and has just one win over his last six appearances. Funnily enough (as long as you don't roster him), Gillies allowed four goals in the win but has allowed three goals or less in each of the losses over that span. |
None |
| Jan. 29, 2022 |
Gillies will guard the road goal Saturday versus the Hurricanes. - Gillies has gone three appearances without a win, allowing seven goals on 96 shots in that span. His most recent win came against the Hurricanes on Jan. 22 in a 7-4 thriller, but Gillies will be a risky option in fantasy against a tough opponent. |
None |
| Jan. 27, 2022 |
Gillies will get the starting nod in Tampa Bay on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Gillies has appeared in three straight games for the Devils, stopping 85 of 93 shots in the process. On the year, he's 1-3-1 with a 3.03 GAA and a .905 save percentage in six appearances with New Jersey and St. Louis. The 28-year-old allowed three goals on 25 shots and took a loss in his lone road appearance this season. |
None |
| Jan. 26, 2022 |
Gillies turned aside 23 of 24 shots after replacing Akira Schmid to begin the second period of Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Stars. - It was a solid effort in a tough spot for Gillies, but the Devils didn't take advantage and mount any sort of comeback after falling into an early hole. With Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) lacking a timetable for his return, Gillies will be the temporary No. 1 netminder for New Jersey, although his 3.04 GAA and .905 save percentage through six NHL appearances this season are fairly lackluster. |
None |
| Jan. 23, 2022 |
Gillies will patrol the crease Sunday against the visiting Kings, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Gillies will make back-to-back starts after stopping 28 of 32 shots in Saturday's 7-4 victory over Carolina. The 28-year-old will try to secure a second straight win against a Kings club that's averaging 2.38 goals for per game on the road this season, 26th in the NHL. |
None |
| Jan. 22, 2022 |
Gillies made 28 saves in a 7-4 win over Carolina on Saturday. - It was his first win as a Devil after arriving in trade on Dec. 15. And it came on Gillies 28th birthday. He's 1-2-1 in three starts with New Jersey, and has delivered a 2.85 GAA and .899 save percentage. Unimpressive for sure, but the big netminder is finally getting the chance to prove he belongs in the NHL. So Gillies will be doing everything he can to prove his mettle. This was a nice step. |
None |
| Jan. 13, 2022 |
Gillies made 22 saves on 25 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Islanders on Thursday. - Gillies could not quite beat the low-powered Islanders offense Thursday. After making two December appearances, most recently against Pittsburgh on Dec. 19, the 27-year-old backup had not played in nearly a month. The netminder remains winless on the season. |
None |
| Jan. 12, 2022 |
Gillies will start Thursday's game versus the Islanders, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - It will be Gillies' third start of the season and his second as a Devil. He's allowed three goals in both of his prior games while posting a .902 save percentage. |
None |
| Jan. 1, 2022 |
Gillies cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Gillies has a 0-1-1 record in the NHL this season with a 2.97 GAA and a .902 save percentage. He will be a welcome sight in the locker room after Mackenzie Blackwood eeked out an overtime win against the Oilers on Friday. |
None |
| Dec. 26, 2021 |
Gillies has been placed in the COVID-19 protocols, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site. - Gillies has gone 0-1-1 this season and last played on Dec. 19 on a 3-2 loss to the Penguins. As a result, Mackenzie Blackwood (neck) and Akira Schmid will handle the goaltending duties until further notice. |
None |
| Dec. 19, 2021 |
Gillies will start Sunday against the visiting Penguins, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Gillies will make his Devils debut after coming over in a trade from the Blues on Wednesday. His most notable numbers this season come from AHL Providence, where he went 3-0-0 with a terrific 1.67 GAA and .948 save percentage. |
None |
| Dec. 15, 2021 |
The Blues traded Gillies to the Devils in exchange for future considerations Wednesday. - With Jonathan Bernier dealing with a long-term hip injury, Gillies will provide the Devils with some much-needed depth at the goaltender position. Gillies appeared in his first NHL contest of the year Sunday against Anaheim, surrendering three goals on 39 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime loss. |
None |
| Dec. 13, 2021 |
Gillies stopped 36 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks. - The 27-year-old last saw action in the NHL in 2017-18 with the Flames, but Gillies looked like he belonged at the top level Sunday, and it took a slick move by Troy Terry on a penalty shot in OT to eventually hand him the loss in his Blues debut. It's not yet clear when Jordan Binnington (COVID-19) or Ville Husso (lower body) might be back in action, so Gillies could split time with Charlie Lindgren in the short term. |
None |
| Dec. 12, 2021 |
Gillies will start Sunday's game against Anaheim, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports. - Gillies will make his Blues debut as the fifth goalie to be between the team's pipes this season. He's been great in limited minor-league action in 2021-22, most notably going 3-0-0 with a .948 save percentage and 1.67 GAA with AHL Providence. The Ducks have gone cold in the goal-scoring department lately, managing just four goals combined in their last three games. |
None |
| Dec. 8, 2021 |
Gillies signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blues on Wednesday. - Jordan Binnington is in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols and Ville Husso is dealing with a lower-body injury, so Gillies will provide St. Louis with some much-needed depth in goal. He's spent most of the 2021-22 campaign with AHL Providence, going 3-0-0 while posting an impressive 1.67 GAA and .948 save percentage. |
