BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) The Buffalo Sabres signed forward Curtis Lazar to a two-year, $1.6 million contract Thursday.
Lazar was a restricted free agent, who split last season between the NHL and the American Hockey League. He had five goals and five assists in 38 games with the Sabres.
The 25-year-old has six seasons of NHL experience, and was selected in the first round (17th overall) of the 2013 draft by Ottawa. Lazar played two-plus seasons in Ottawa, before being traded to Calgary.
He signed with Buffalo in free agency last summer, following a season in which he appeared in just one game with Calgary.
Overall, he has 20 goals and 61 points in 284 career games.
