The Vancouver Canucks signed defenseman Alex Biega to a two-year, $1.65-million contract on Wednesday, the team announced.
Biega was a pending unrestricted free agent and gets a slight pay raise from his previous two-year deal that paid him an annual average of $750,000.
"Alex has an incredible work ethic and is always prepared," Canucks general manager Jim Benning said in a release. "He sets an example for our younger players to follow. We're pleased to have Alex as part of our team moving forward."
The 29-year-old has six assists in 31 games this season.
