New Jersey Devils sign winger Anthony Mantha to two‑year deal

The New Jersey Devils announced a two‑year, $9.5 million contract for winger Anthony Mantha, with a $4.75 million cap hit through the 2027‑28 season. The 32‑year‑old Quebec native joins New Jersey after a breakout year in Pittsburgh, where he recorded 33 goals, 31 assists and 64 points, and returns from a prior ACL injury.

Mantha is expected to slot into the Devils’ top‑six forward group, likely lining up on left wing beside Jack Hughes. The signing reshapes the forward lines, adding size and scoring ability, and complements other offseason moves by GM Sunny Mehta as the team prepares for the upcoming NHL season.
