The Carolina Hurricanes signed unrestricted free-agent forward Jesper Fast to a two-year pact with an average annual value of $2.4 million, the team announced Saturday.
Fast, 31, potted 10 goals and 29 points in 80 contests this past season and led the Hurricanes with six goals in 15 playoff games.
"Jesper is an extremely hard worker on both ends of the ice, and his consistency has played a key role in our success over the past three seasons," Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell said. "He is the kind of person and player that every team is looking for, and we are thrilled to have him back in our locker room."
Fast joined the Hurricanes in October 2020 as an unrestricted free agent on a three-year, $6-million pact and is entering his fourth season with the club.
He has 82 points in 208 career games with Carolina.
