The Florida Panthers have re-signed defenceman Alex Petrovic to a one-year contract.

Petrovic had two goals and 11 assists in 67 games this past season.

“Alexander is a dependable young defenceman who adds size and physicality to our lineup,” said Panthers GM Dale Tallon in a release. “He plays the game with an edge and has grown into a strong shutdown defender. We look forward to Alexander taking the next step in his development with the Panthers and are pleased to have agreed to terms with him.”

The 26-year-old was taken in the second round (36th overall) of the 2010 NHL Draft.
