The New Jersey Devils re-signed defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler to a two-year contract that carries an average annual value of $1.125 million, the team announced Friday.

Siegenthaler, 24, was acquired by the Devils from the Washington Capitals in April. He only skated in eight games with New Jersey, missing time while in COVID-19 protocol.

He appeared in 64 games with the Capitals in 2019-20, recording two goals and seven assists. He played a vital role on their penalty kill, leading the club with an average of 3:11 minutes of shorthanded ice time per contest.

Siegenthaler has two goals and 11 assists across 105 career games. Washington drafted him 57th overall in 2015.
