Former Islander Arron Asham signs with the Devils

Right wing Arron Asham, who appeared in a career-high 80 games with the New York Islanders last season, was signed as a free agent by the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday.

"Arron Asham is a veteran forward who brings a level of toughness, intensity, and feistiness to our lineup," Devils chief executive Lou Lamoriello said in a statement.

The 29-year-old Asham has played seven seasons in the NHL -- the last four with the Islanders. He had 11 goals and 12 assists last season. His career totals are 58 goals and 67 assists.
