Dumoulin, 33, is a defensive defenceman that has excelled in his role, winning a pair of Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016 and 2017. He has since been a reliable blueliner that has been able to plug in wherever he is needed. New Jersey will be his fourth career stop after playing for the Ducks and Kraken over the last two seasons.
