The Edmonton Oilers signed defenseman Yohann Auvitu to a one-year contract Monday.

Auvitu joined the Devils organization on a one-year, entry-level contract signed last summer. The French blue-liner spent the previous five seasons plying his trade in the Finnish Elite League, and brings a wealth of experience on the international stage.

The signing gives the Oilers a total of nine defensemen under contract for 2017-18, according to Cap Friendly.
