The Florida Panthers agreed to terms with defenseman Alex Petrovic on a one-year, one-way contract Saturday.
The deal is worth a reported $1.8 million for Petrovic, who was a restricted free agent.
Petrovic, 25, recorded 14 points (one goals, 13 assists) in 49 games with Florida during the 2016-17 season. He ranked tied for first among team defensemen with 106 hits and averaged 2.2 hits per game.
"Alex is an important part of our young core and has taken great strides in his development over the past two seasons," Panthers general manager Dale Tallon said in a statement. "He plays the type of hockey that will help us win games and we are pleased to have agreed to terms on a deal with him."
Over 161 regular-season NHL games, all with Florida (2012-17), Petrovic owns 35 points (three goals, 32 assists). He also has a goal and three assists in six playoff games.
The 6-foot-4, 206-pound native of Edmonton, Alberta, was originally selected by Florida in the second round (36th overall) of the 2010 NHL draft.
