The New Jersey Devils signed free agent forward Tomas Nosek to a one-year, $1 million contract, general manager Tom Fitzgerald announced Wednesday.
Nosek played in 66 games for Boston last season and had seven goals and 11 assists. He played in all seven of the Bruins’ playoff games in an opening-round loss to the eventual Eastern Conference champion Florida Panthers.
Nosek, from the Czech Republic, has skated in 398 career NHL games over eight seasons with Detroit, Vegas and Boston. He has 42 goals and 59 assists. He has played in 59 career playoff games, and was a member of the Golden Knights’ Western Conference championship team that played in the 2018 Stanley Cup Final.
Prior to his NHL career, Nosek played parts of three seasons (2014-15 to 2016-17) with Grand Rapids (AHL). In 2016-17, he was a member of the Griffins’ team that won the Calder Cup. He played eight seasons at home before coming to North America. He signed as an undrafted free agent with Detroit in June 2015.
