The Dallas Stars have traded for New Jersey Devils defenseman Ben Lovejoy, the teams announced Saturday.
Lovejoy, 35, has two goals and five assists in 51 games in 2018-19 and was second on the Devils with 77 blocked shots while playing a key penalty-killing role. The 11-year veteran was traded back and forth between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Anaheim Ducks over the past decade before signing a three-year contract with the Devils in 2016 that expires after this season.
"Ben is a top-end penalty-killing defenseman, and he brings a good mix of both physicality and mobility to our backend," Stars general manager Jim Nill said.
