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 today.

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

The 29-year-old Asham has played seven seasons in the NHL — the last four with the Islanders. Last season he tallied 11 goals and 12 assists. He has 58 career goals and 67 assists.
