NHL: Devils deal for defenseman

The Devils acquired defenseman Christian Jaros from the Sharks on Monday in exchange for forward Nick Merkley.

The Devils said they had agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the restricted free agent. The contract is worth $800,000 at the NHL level and $275,000 at the AHL level.

Jaros, 25, split last season between San Jose and its AHL affiliate.

Sam Bennett re-signed with the Panthers, inking a four-year contract worth $17.7 million with the team that has been a good fit for him since joining at the trade deadline.
