The Pittsburgh Penguins agreed to a four-year deal with forward Bryan Rust that carries an average annual value of $3.5 million, the club announced Tuesday.
Rust was a pending restricted free agent.
He collected 13 goals and 38 points in 69 regular-season games this season, piling up 20 points in his final 31 contests. He added three goals in 12 postseason games.
Rust was a member of both of the Penguins' Stanley Cup-winning squads in 2016 and 2017, and has scored 10 goals in 18 career playoff elimination games.
The 26-year-old has spent parts of four seasons at the NHL level with the Penguins, who made him a third-round pick in 2010.
