The New Jersey Devils have added a veteran presence, signing forward Vernon Fiddler to a one-year, $1.25-million contract, the team announced Friday.
The 36-year-old played the last five seasons with the Dallas Stars, recording 12 goals and 10 assists last year before adding a goal and two assists in the playoffs.
Fiddler joins former Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Ben Lovejoy as free-agent additions.
New teammate Adam Henrique took to Twitter to welcome the pair to New Jersey:
Welcome to the @NJDevils @RevLovejoy6 and Vernon Fiddler!
