by Mike Alessandrini from on (#4JA6W)
The Florida Panthers signed free-agent winger Brett Connolly to a four-year contract, the team announced Monday.
Florida was rumored to be the likely destination for Connolly, though the Edmonton Oilers reportedly also expressed interest in the veteran forward.
The 27-year-old spent the last three seasons with the Washington Capitals. He's coming off a career season during which he contributed 22 goals and 46 points in 81 games, and he added a pair of goals in seven playoff contests.
Connolly has recorded 155 points in 427 career games and captured a Stanley Cup with the Capitals in 2018.
