Devils sign Boston College’s Santini to 3-year deal

The New Jersey Devils signed defenseman Steven Santini to a three-year entry-level contract Friday.

The deal begins this season, and Santini will report to the Devils on Saturday.

The 21-year-old collected 19 points in 41 games in his junior season with the Eagles, who were eliminated from the Frozen Four tournament Thursday.

New Jersey selected him 42nd overall in 2013.
