Longtime NHL forward Chris Stewart inked a one-year contract with Slovakian club Slovan Bratislava in the KHL, the team announced Wednesday.
Stewart finished last season with the Calgary Flames, scoring a goal and chipping in a pair of assists in seven games after being claimed on waivers from the Minnesota Wild.
The 30-year-old has played 652 regular-season contests and 39 playoff games in the NHL. He's suited up for the Anaheim Ducks, Buffalo Sabres, St. Louis Blues, and Colorado Avalanche in addition to the Wild and Flames.
He was a first-round pick of the Avalanche in 2006, and had his best season with Colorado in 2009-10, pouring in 28 goals and 36 assists before adding three more goals in six playoff appearances.
