Jul 10, 2007, 15:50 GMT
Newark, NJ - The Devils have signed free agent defenseman Vitaly Vishnevski on Tuesday.
Vishnevski, 27, recorded three goals and 10 assists in 67 games split between Nashville and Atlanta last season. He finished the 2006-07 campaign with the Predators after being acquired in a February deal that sent forward Eric Belanger to the Thrashers.
'Vitaly Vishnevski is a defenseman who brings a physical presence to our hockey team,' said Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello. 'He has both size and experience, and we feel he can play our type of hockey.'
Drafted fifth overall by Anaheim in the 1998 draft, Vishnevski spent the first six seasons of his seven-year NHL career with the Ducks.
Vishnevski has recorded 14 goals and 47 assists for 61 points in 483 career NHL games.
