The Devils re-signed the defenseman.

The New Jersey Devils and defenseman Kevin Bahl agreed to a 2-season, 2.1 million dollar contract.

New Jersey GM Tom Fitzgerald shared that the player will earn almost 1 million dollars in the upcoming season and 1.2 million dollars in the next season.

Kevin played his 3rd campaign in the league with the Devils and appeared in a career-high 42 matches, notching 2 goals and giving 6 assists. His 6.52 hits per hour is the 2nd achievement for the organization’s defensemen, who competed in more than 10 matches. He was part of 11 of the franchise’s 12 postseason matches and averaged almost 14 minutes per game.

New Jersey acquired the defenceman from Coyotes at the end of 2019 in a trade that sent Taylor Hall to Arizona. Bahl made his National Hockey League debut vs. Philly in the 2020-21 campaign. Before that, he was part of the organization’s AHL affiliates at Binghamton and Utica.
