Zidlicky re-signs with Devils

The New Jersey Devils signed free-agent defenseman Marek Zidlicky to a one-year contract on Wednesday.

Zidlicky led New Jersey blue liners in scoring last season with 19 points while playing in all 48 games.

He became a free agent on July 5 at the end of a three-year, $12 million deal he signed with the Minnesota Wild in 2010. The 36-year-old Zidlicky joined the Devils at the trade deadline in 2012 and contributed nine points in the 24-game playoff run to the Stanley Cup Finals.
