According to NHL.com, the Anaheim Ducks have signed forward Chris Stewart to a one-year deal.
Chris Stewart spent last season with the Minnesota Wild and Buffalo Sabres. The 27-year-old scored 14 goals, and 36 points in 81 games last season.
NHL.com reports the following:
“After scoring three goals and 11 points in 20 games for Minnesota, Stewart was held to two assists in eight Stanley Cup Playoff games before sustaining an upper-body injury in Game 2 of the Western Conferenced Second Round against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Stewart fills a need at forward after the Ducks traded Kyle Palmieri to the New Jersey Devils and Emerson Etem to the New York Rangers, and after free agent Matt Beleskey signed a five-year, $19-million contract with the Boston Bruins. Anaheim also acquired forward Carl Hagelin after sending Etem to New York.”
Chris Stewart was acquired by the Wild on March 2 for a future second-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. Stewart was selected by the Avalanche with the 18th pick of the 2006 NHL Draft, and has 129 goals and 264 points in 463 NHL games with the Avalanche, St. Louis Blues, Sabres and Wild.
