VANCOUVER – The Vancouver Canucks have signed forward Teddy Blueger to a two-year contract

The contract, announced by the team on Wednesday, has an average annual value of $1.8 million.

The 29-year-old was set to become an unrestricted free agent when the NHL’s free agency period began on Monday.

Blueger proved to be an important depth piece for Vancouver last year, contributing six goals and 22 assists in 68 regular season games.

He signed a one-year, $1.9 million contract with the Canucks last July after winning a Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound forward from Riga, Latvia also spent parts of six seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins and has 41 goals and 85 assists in 336 NHL games.
