The Boston Bruins are keeping one of their young forwards around.
The Bruins have revealed that they have signed forward Lukas Reichel to a one-year, $950,000 contract extension.
The Bruins got Reichel from the Vancouver Canucks at this year’s trade deadline. In ten regular-season games with Boston after the deal, he scoredone goal and three points. He also participated in one postseason game for Boston, although he didnotscoreanygoals.
After being acquired, Reichel spent some time with the Providence Bruins. In four regular-season appearancesfor Providence, he had one goal and six points. He hasno points in three playoff games for Providence.
Keeping Reichel around on this low, one-year, prove-it contract is understandable. The 23-year-old striker will now seek to realize his full potential next season for the Black and Gold and have a breakthrough year.
