The New Jersey Devils announced on Monday that they have signed centre Scott Gomez to a one-year, $550,000 contract.

Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

The 34-year-old attended Devils’ training camp on a tryout basis but did not make the team. He has been practicing with the squad without a contract.

Drafted by New Jersey in the first round of the 1998 Draft, Gomez played seven seasons for New Jersey before signing with the New York Rangers in 2007.

Gomez has most recently played for the Florida Panthers, totaling 12 points in 46 games with them last season.

The team is currently lacking depth up the middle with injuries to Adam Henrique and Travis Zajac.
