The Boston Bruins are bringing back defenseman Mike Reilly on a three-year contract carrying an annual cap hit of $3 million, a source told TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Reilly was set to be among the top available unrestricted free-agent defensemen.
The smooth-skating 28-year-old recorded 27 points over 55 games last season split between the Bruins and Ottawa Senators. He posted strong underlying numbers, too:

Boston acquired Reilly prior to the 2021 trade deadline from the Sens in exchange for a 2022 third-round pick.
