The New York Rangers agreed to terms with free agent forward Jarret Stoll on Monday.

Stoll, 33, was charged in June with one count of possession of a controlled substance stemming from an April incident in Las Vegas. The felony cocaine charge filed against Stoll was dismissed in a plea deal with prosecutors. He pleaded guilty to two reduced misdemeanor charges to resolve the case.
