Report: Devils land Boyle on 2-year deal

The New Jersey Devils reportedly added Brian Boyle in free agency Saturday.

The big center signed a two-year contract worth approximately $5.1 million, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

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.
