The Boston Bruins signed restricted free agent winger Danton Heinen to a two-year deal with an annual cap hit of $2.8 million, the team announced Tuesday night.
Playing mostly third-line minutes on a deep team that went to the Stanley Cup Final, Heinen put up 11 goals and 34 points in 77 games. That was a bit of a regression from the season before -- his first full season in the NHL -- when he had 16 goals and 47 points.
Heinen, who last week had filed for salary arbitration, is the first of three key restricted free agents to re-sign with the Bruins.
