The New Jersey Devils have signed winger Riley Tufte to a one-year, one-way NHL contract valued at $850,000. Tufte, a 28-year-old player standing 6’6” and weighing 245 pounds, was among the top scorers in the AHL last season, tying for third with 32 goals in 64 games. His previous NHL experience includes time with the Stars, Avalanche, and Bruins, where he played a total of 28 games, scoring three goals and adding an assist. The signing is seen as a low-risk move that may bolster the Devils' offensive options or provide additional scoring for the AHL's Utica Comets, who struggled offensively last season.
