TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 25 (UPI) -- The Tampa Bay Lightning Thursday re-signed veteran captain Dave Andreychuk to a two-year contract.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Andreychuk, 41, was a Stanley Cup winner for the first time in June 2004 when the Lightning beat Calgary. He was named the first captain in team history in September 2002.
"Dave Andreychuk walked into our locker room four seasons ago and helped us find our way," said Executive Vice President and General Manager Jay Feaster. "He helped our young players grow and develop and mature more quickly, and he helped establish an expectation level in terms of expecting to win each and every night through hard work and commitment."
He is the NHL's all-time leader in power-play goals (270). The left winger also is seventh in games played (1,597), and his 21 goals in 2003-04 gave him 19 seasons with at least 20 goals, trailing only Gordie Howe (22) and Ron Francis (20).
