Share

MONTREAL -- Defenseman Nathan Beaulieu has signed a $2 million, two-year contract, the Montreal Canadiens said Saturday.

Beaulieu, 22, had one goal and eight assists in 64 games this past season.

The 6-foot-1 185-pound Beaulieu is set to earn $1 million per season, a slight increase on the $925,000 he made in 2014-15 in the final season of a three-year entry-level contract. He can become a restricted free agent in 2017-'18.

In 87 NHL games, Beaulieu has one goal and 12 assists. He has three assists in 12 playoff games.

Montreal drafted Beaulieu 17th overall in 2011 from the Saint John Sea Dogs.

Ducks: Pettersson signs entry-level contract
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Defenseman Marcus Pettersson has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Anaheim Ducks.

The club announced the deal with its Swedish second-round draft pick on Saturday.

Anaheim selected Pettersson last summer with the 38th overall pick. He spent last season with Skelleftea AIK in the Swedish Hockey League, going scoreless in 14 games while also playing for the under-20 team.

The 6-foot-4 Pettersson turned 19 years old last month. Ducks general manager Bob Murray has said he expects Pettersson to continue playing in Sweden next season.

Coyotes: Disgruntled fan stuns Glendale mayor
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- An Arizona Coyotes fan got to take out her frustration on the mayor behind the decision to send the hockey team packing.

KPNX-TV reports that disgruntled fan Ronda Pearson used a stun gun on Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers on Saturday as part of a charity pledge.

Weiers volunteered to be stunned with a Taser at the mall event if a $10,000 donation was made to an Arizona charity that supports first-responders.

Firefighters determined Weiers was not injured.

Organizers say Pearson and another Coyotes fan showed up with a $10,000 money order.

Weiers and the Glendale City Council voted Wednesday to end an arena lease agreement with the Coyotes. A judge on Friday temporarily halted its termination.

Pearson gained attention on social media for a public rant directed at Weiers.
