Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - The defending-champion Los Angeles Kings
retained a key member of their offense on Sunday, signing unrestricted free
agent forward Dustin Penner to a one-year deal worth $3.25 million.
The 29-year-old Manitoba native had a lackluster regular season, tallying
seven goals and 17 points in 65 games with a minus-seven rating. He missed
time from mid-November to early December with a hand injury.
However, he helped the franchise take its first Stanley Cup by totaling 11
points in 20 postseason appearances.
In 489 games with Anaheim, Edmonton and Los Angeles, Penner has racked up 135
goals and 126 assists with 306 penalty minutes. He has also contributed 10
scores and 30 points in 60 playoff tilts.
