The Buffalo Sabres and forward Beck Malenstyn agreed on a two-year, $2.7 million deal on Tuesday.
The Sabres acquired Malenstyn from the Washington Capitals in June for a second-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.
The Capitals selected him in the fifth round of the 2016 NHL Draft, and he spent parts of four seasons with the team.
Malenstyn, 26, played in 81 games for the Capitals last season and set career highs in goals (six), assists (15), and points (21).
He led the Capitals with 241 hits.
"This guy is a player who's direct, hard, finishes checks -- and not just finishes checks, but finishes checks hard," Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams said in June. "There was a real need for that."
