EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Goaltender Jordan Parise joined his brother Zach as a member of the Devils on Friday, signing his first professional contract with New Jersey. Terms were not immediately available.

The older brother of forward Zach Parise, the goaltender played the past three seasons for the University of North Dakota, posting a 55-20-7 record with 10 shutouts. He had a 2.14 goals-against average.

This past season, he reached career highs in games played (34), wins (24), and shutouts (6). Parise completed his collegiate playing career as North Dakota's all-time leader in goals-against average, while finishing second in victories and shutouts. He was named to the 2006 NCAA West All-Tournament and WCHA Third All-Star Teams, as well as the 2005 and 2006 WCHA All-Academic Teams.

The Fighting Sioux participated in the NCAA Frozen Four the past two seasons, reaching the NCAA championship game in 2005.

TORONTO (Ticker) - The Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday signed 2006 first-round pick Jiri Tlusty to a three-year contract.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

Tlusty, a center selected 13th overall by the Maple Leafs last month, had seven goals and three assists in 44 games last season with HC Rabat Kladno of the Czech Republic Extraleague.

The 18-year-old Tlusty also represented his native Czech Republic at the World Junior Championship earlier this year, failing to record a point in four games.

Forward Joe Pavelski signed with the San Jose Sharks on Friday after leading Wisconsin to an NCAA championship as a sophomore last season.
