From Sabres.com,
The Buffalo Sabres have agreed to terms with forward Beck Malenstyn on a two-year contract worth an average annual value of $1.35 million, the team announced Tuesday.
The Sabres acquired Malenstyn in a trade with the Washington Capitals on June 29. The 26-year-old set career highs in goals (6), assists (15), and points (21) in 81 games last season while playing a physical, defense-heavy role for Washington.
The 6-foot-3 forward was on the ice for 562 defensive-zone faceoffs at 5-on-5, the third-highest total in the NHL. He ranked third among NHL forwards in shorthanded time on ice (211:32).
Malenstyn also led Capitals players with 241 hits and led the team’s forwards with 93 blocked shots – all ingredients that the Sabres believe will help round out their group up front.
