Devils sign free agent C Boyle

The New Jersey Devils signed center Brian Boyle to a two-year contract as free agency opened Saturday.

The deal is worth a reported $5.1 million.

Boyle, 32, played for the Tampa Bay Lighting last season before being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs before the trade deadline.

Boyle, 32, went to back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals -- with the New York Rangers in 2013-14 and the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2014-15.

After being acquired by the Maple Leafs, Boyle tallied only three assists in 21 regular-season games and two assists in six playoff games. He had 13 goals and nine assists in 54 games with the Lightning last season.

The 6-foot-6, 244-pound Boyle has 169 points (93 goals, 76 assists) in 624 career NHL games.
