Devils Acquire Forward Sestito from Oilers

The New Jersey Devils added some grit to their team last Thursday by acquiring left wing Tim Sestito from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a conditional draft pick in a future draft. Sestito appeared in only one game last season for the Oilers, scoring no points. He also appeared in 51 games for the Oilers’ AHL affiliate in Springfield last season, scoring five goals and three assists for eight points and 77 penalty minutes. This is likely a depth trade for the Devils, as they already have enforcers in David Clarkson and Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond. Sestito could find himself on the team next season if either of the aforementioned players should be sidelined with a lengthy injury.
