Bruins sign Heinen to 1-year, $775K deal

The Boston Bruins announced a one-year, $775,000 contract for forward Danton Heinen on Monday.

Heinen joined the Bruins for training camp on a professional tryout but went unsigned to this point of the season. The 28-year-old previously spent four seasons in Boston from 2016-2020 and has made stops in Anaheim and Pittsburgh since.

He recorded 22 points in 65 games last season with the Penguins and owns 70 goals and 106 assists in 413 career contests. Heinen's most productive NHL campaign came in 2017-18 when he notched 47 points.

The Bruins are off to a tremendous start this season, leading the Eastern Conference with a 7-0-1 record.
