Tanner Jeannot, a restricted free agent forward acquired last season in a trade with the Nashville Predators, signed a two-year contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.

The deal carries an average annual value of $2.665 million, Tampa Bay general manager Julien BriseBois announced in a statement, and assures the Lightning offense another rough-and-tumble winger who might see a spike in production now that he'll have a full season in coach Jon Cooper's system.
