The Boston Bruins have signed forward Brad Marchand to an eight-year contract extension worth $49 million through the 2024-25 season, the team announced Monday.

The Buffalo Sabres have re-signed forward Zemgus Girgensons to a one-year $1.15 million contract.

From Latvia, Girgensons has established himself as a two-way player in three seasons with the Sabres.

Girgensons has 30 goals and 40 assists in 202 games. He struggled last season adapting under new coach Dan Bylsma, and finished with seven goals and 18 points - both career lows - in 71 games.
