The contract with the 28-year-old goalkeeper is concluded for one season. It is planned that Gudlevsky will join the team on Sunday.
The Villach team has started the new season with three points in three games, which gives them eighth place in the tournament table.
Last season, Gudlevsky played in the German Premier League (DEL), which scored an average of 2.65 goals in 25 DEL games and averaged 90.41%. Only five of these 25 Fischtown Pinguins did not score.
Meanwhile, at the beginning of the season, he won three victories in nine matches in the ranks of Riga “Dinamo”, conceded 3.45 discs on average and repelled 86.3% of throws.
Gudļevskis returned from North America in the 2018/2019 season, scoring an average of 2.37 discs in 31 KHL games and repelling 91.0% of the throws. He remained unbeaten in two matches, but in the second part of the season he was competed by the Russian Timur Bilalov.
Back in 2013, after successfully holding the World Championship in Gudlevsky’s National Hockey League (NHL) draft with a total number of 124, Tampa “Lightning” was chosen. That year, he began his career in North America and also made his debut in the world’s strongest hockey league.
The Latvian started the 2013/2014 season in the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) team in Florida’s “Everblades”, but soon received a call to the “Lightning” farm club in the American Hockey League (AHL) Syracuse “Crunch”, where he spent most of the season. In February 2014, the goalkeeper perfectly defended Latvia’s honor at the Sochi Olympics, but at the end of the season made his debut as a member of “Lightning”. Thus, Gudlevsky became the first player in history to play in the NHL, AHL, ECHL and Olympics in one season.
True, in the four years he spent in the Lightning system, Gudlevsky played mostly for the Crunch team.
Before the 2017/2018 season, Gudlevsky signed a contract with another NHL unit, the Islanders of New York, but he spent the entire season on the AHL team at the Soundport Tigers in Bridgeport. In his ranks, he conceded an average of 2.83 puck in 37 games last season and rebounded 89.7%.
In total, Gudļevskis has played in three NHL Regular Championship games and two Stanley Cup matches.
Gudļevskis has represented the Latvian U-18, U-20 and adult national teams at the World Championships and the Sochi Olympic Games.
Before starting his career in North America, the goalkeeper spent several years in the Riga “Dinamo” system, playing two matches in the adult team in the 2012/13 season.
