Lightning sign Perry

Veteran forward Corey Perry agreed to terms on a $2 million, two-year contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Perry faced the Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final in each of the past two seasons. He was with the Dallas Stars in 2020 and the Montreal Canadiens this year.

Perry won the Cup with the Ducks in ’07 and has 108 goals in 167 playoff games.

• The St. Louis Blues signed Brandon Saad to a five-year contract. Saad, 28, spent last season with Colorado, putting up 24 points during the regular season and scoring seven goals in 10 playoff games. The winger counts $4.5 million against the salary cap on his new $22.5 million deal. Saad won the Cup with Chicago in 2013 and 2015.

• Columbus extended defenseman Zach Werenski for $57.5 million over six years and signing blueliner Jake Bean to a $7 million, three-year deal.

• The Dallas Stars signed two more free agents, inking defenseman Jani Hakanpaa and veteran forward Michael Raffl a day after opening free agency with a flurry of moves.

Hakanpaa, who split last season between Anaheim and Carolina, signed a $4.5 million, three-year deal.

Raffl, 32, an eight-year NHL veteran, agreed to a $1.1 million, one-year deal after playing for Philadelphia and Washington last season.

• The Ducks bolstered their organizational depth with four free-agent signings, including journeyman defenseman Greg Pateryn, a veteran of 280 games in the NHL with the San Jose Sharks, Colorado Avalanche, Minnesota Wild, Dallas Stars and Montreal Canadiens.

Pateryn, 31, and right wing Buddy Robinson each signed one-year, two-way contracts.

The Ducks also signed defenseman Brogan Rafferty to a one-year, $750,000 one-way contract and left wing Danny O’Regan to a two-year, two-way contract ($750,000/$450,000).
