Bruins sign Kuraly to 3-year deal

The Boston Bruins have re-signed forward Sean Kuraly to a three-year deal averaging $1.275 million, the team announced Tuesday.

In two seasons with the Bruins, the 25-year-old center has been a dependable fourth-line player while recording 15 points in 83 regular-season games. In the 2017-2018 campaign, Kuraly appeared in all 12 of Boston's playoff games, tallying two goals and two assists.

The 6-foot-2 and 213-pound forward was acquired by the Bruins in 2016 in a trade that sent goaltender Martin Jones to San Jose for Kuraly and a first-round pick.

The Bruins also announced the signing of forward Anton Blidh to a one-year, two-way contract with an NHL cap hit of $650,000. The winger played 71 AHL games with Providence last year, netting 26 points.

Blidh was the Bruins' 180th overall pick in 2013. He's appeared in 20 games for Boston, scoring his first NHL goal in December 2016 against the Islanders.
