NEW YORK -- The New York Rangers have re-signed veteran defenseman Chad Ruhwedel to a one-year contract.
General manager Chris Drury announced the signing Friday in a move that offers 23-year-old Zac Jones competition for a spot on the team's third pairing. Terms were not immediately available.
Ruhwedel was acquired from Pittsburgh in early March and played in five games the rest of the season as New York advanced to the Eastern Conference final, losing to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.
