The Florida Panthers signed free agent forward Kevin Stenlund to a one-year, $1 million contract on Saturday.
Stenlund spent last season with the Winnipeg Jets and recorded six goals and three assists in 54 games.
He also had four goals and 10 assists in 54 games with the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League.
"Stenlund is a really unique guy, whose combination of size, skating and skill is rare," Panthers general manager Bill Zito said in a statement. "A dynamic player with a big shot, we are excited to add some size to our lineup as we welcome Kevin to South Florida."
The 26-year-old from Stockholm, Sweden, was drafted in the second round, 58th overall, by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2015. He has 29 career points (17 goals and 12 assists) in 125 games over five seasons with the Blue Jackets and Jets.
