The New Jersey Devils signed forward Anthony Mantha to a two-year deal that carries an average annual value of $4.75 million, the team announced Wednesday.

Mantha led the Pittsburgh Penguins with a career-high 33 goals last season. His 64 points also marked a personal best in his 13-year NHL career.

The 31-year-old signed a one-year, $1.25-million contract with the Penguins last season after coming off a torn ACL that limited him to 13 games with the Calgary Flames during the 2024-25 campaign.

Mantha has spent time with the Detroit Red Wings, Washington Capitals, Vegas Golden Knights, Flames, and Penguins since being drafted 20th overall in 2013.

New Jersey finished last campaign with a 42-37-3 record and missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
