Canadiens Re-Sign Forward Chipchura for One Year

The Montreal Canadiens have announced that they have re-signed center Kyle Chipchura to a one-year contract worth $500,000. In 13 games last season with the Canadiens, Chipchura scored three assists. He also appeared in 51 games for the Canadiens’ AHL affiliate in Hamilton, scoring 14 goals and 21 assists for 35 points and 65 penalty minutes. Not a bad signing for the Canadiens, as Chipchura has good two-way abilities, decent offensive skill, and plays with a physical edge. He will likely make the Canadiens full time next season, centering either the third or fourth line.
