Curtis Lazar has signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Vancouver Canucks.
Lazar eight goals and 16 points in 70 contests with Boston last season. He also had 51 blocks and 186 hits while averaging 12:00 minutes.
Curtis Lazar hopes to re-sign with the Boston Bruins in the offseason.
“I want to be back here," said Lazar, who is pending unrestricted free agent. He added that there is interest from both sides. Lazar had 16 points, 95 shots and 186 hits in 70 games this past campaign.
Curtis Lazar is slated to play on Boston's second line Tuesday night.
Lazar skated alongside Erik Haula and Taylor Hall during Monday's practice. "If Lazar's a fit there then we'll see…showed some flashes last year with his hands so maybe with that line, there might be a few more plays through the neutral zone as opposed to straight line," said coach Bruce Cassidy. "But I don't want him to completely change the way he plays. But I think he has some ability to do that, so he'll get a look." Lazar has eight goals, eight assists, 85 shots and 165 hits in 63 games this year.
Curtis Lazar (upper body) will make his return on Saturday.
Lazar was last in the lineup on Feb. 24. He has six goals and 13 points in 44 contests in 2021-22.
