    The New Jersey Devils have re-signed three-time All-Star center Patrik Elias. A league source tells ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun that Elias received a three-year deal worth $16.5 million.

    Elias, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent Friday, has spent his entire 17-year career with the Devils and is the franchise's all-time leader in goals (375) and assists (555). He ranks third in franchise history with 1,090 games played.

    "To [general manager] Lou [Lamoriello], all my teammates and Devils fans, I'm excited to sign a new contract and be back with New Jersey," Elias said in a statement released through his agent. "This year marks my 17th year with the Devils, and it's very special to be a member of one organization for my entire career. We've shared some great moments together, and I look forward to working with everyone to create new ones. Go Devils!"
