Jonathan Kovacevic is off the market.
The New Jersey Devils signed the defenceman to a five-year, $20 million contract extension with a $4 million average-annual value on Friday.
Kovacevic was a pending UFA with his three-year, $2.3-million deal set to expire this summer.
The Hamilton native has one goal and 13 assists in 63 games this season.
A third-round pick (74th overall) of the Winnipeg Jets in 2017, Kovacevic was claimed off waivers by the Montreal Canadiens in 2022.
The Habs dealt Kovacevic to the Devils last summer.
