According to PuckPedia, the New Jersey Devils have re-signed forward Marc McLaughlin to a one-year, two-way contract extension. At the NHL level, he will carry a $775,000 cap hit.

McLaughlin was a pending Group 6 unrestricted free agent (UFA) for the Devils. However, after signing this one-year extension, he will be staying in New Jersey.

McLaughlin appeared in two games with the Devils after being acquired from the Boston Bruins at the trade deadline, where he had one assist, five hits, and a minus-1 rating. He also recorded six assists and a plus-5 rating in 16 games with their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets.

With this move, McLaughlin will continue to be a solid depth forward for the Devils to work with. With a strong training camp, he could make a case for himself to play in the Devils' bottom six, but we will need to wait and see what happens on that front.
