The New Jersey Devils added Brian Boyle in free agency Saturday.
The big center signed a two-year contract worth $5.1 million, the club announced.
Boyle, 32, was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs by the Tampa Bay Lightning last season. After scoring 13 goals and adding nine assists in 54 games in Florida, he was used on the fourth line in Toronto and managed only three assists in 21 regular-season games. He had two assists in the Leafs' six playoff games.
A wizard at faceoffs, the Devils know Boyle well, as the forward spent five seasons with the New York Rangers.
