The Bruins have signed Tyler Seguin to a six-year contract extension worth an average of $5.75M a year, the team announced Tuesday morning. The deal starts after this season and runs through 2018-19, according to an ESPN.com report. 

Seguin, 20, who was drafted second overall in the first round of the 2010 NHL entry draft, was set to become a free agent after the upcoming season.

Seguin had a breakout sophomore campaign in 2011-12. He led the team in goals with 29 and points with 67 and became the youngest player to hold the club's scoring title.
