Bruins captain Zdeno Chara, the 41-year-old defenseman having a resurgent season, has decided to return for 2018-19.

GM Don Sweeney announced on Wednesday that Chara has agreed to a one-year, $5 million contract with performance-based incentives that could add $1.75 million to his salary. Chara is in the final year of a seven-year $45.5 million contract.

Chara is in his 20th season in the NHL and 12th season with the Bruins.

The Washington Capitals have signed general manager Brian MacLellan to a contract extension.

MacLellan is in the fourth year of his original four-year deal when he was promoted from assistant GM to replace George McPhee. The team confirmed the extension Friday in the midst of its California road trip.
