The New Jersey Devils have come to terms with forward Stefan Noesen on a one-year, $1.725-million contract, the team announced Tuesday.
In his first full season with the Devils, the 25-year-old had 13 goals and 14 assists in 72 games.
The announcement was made by the team's executive vice president and general manager, Ray Shero.
"Since he has arrived in New Jersey, Stefan has played smart, competitive hockey and has scored timely goals," Shero said. "He's also a guy you can rely on to play in tough defensive situations and has really grown his all-around game."
The Plano, Texas native was selected in the first round of the 2011 draft by the Ottawa Senators. He was claimed off waivers by New Jersey from Anaheim in January 2017. Noesen had previously filed for salary arbitration and will become a restricted free agent next summer.
