Lightning Sign Free Agent Forwards Pouliot, Durno

The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced that they have signed center Marc-Antoine Pouliot and left wing Chris Durno to one-year, two-way contracts. The financial terms of both deals were not disclosed. Pouliot is a decent depth signing for the Lightning. Despite his offensive struggles and inconsistency, he does have some scoring upside, is decent on faceoffs, and can play all three forward positions. He should be a decent third or fourth line forward for the team. Durno is really just a depth signing for Tampa Bay. He plays with plenty of toughness and is a very physical player, but could end up fighting for a roster spot at training camp in the fall.
