Ben LovejoyDALLAS — The Devils traded veteran defenseman Ben Lovejoy to the Stars on Saturday.
The Stars sent defenseman Connor Carrick and a 2019 third-round draft pick to the Devils in the deal reached two days before the NHL’s trade deadline.
Lovejoy is an 11-year veteran and defensive specialist who won a Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 2016. He was second on the Devils with 77 blocked shots while playing a key penalty-killing role. He has two goals and seven points in 51 games this season and 20 goals and 99 points in 524 career games.
General manager Jim Nill called Lovejoy “an experienced, battle-tested player who has a track record of performing in meaningful late-season games.”
