PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Flyers have signed defenseman Justin Braun to a two-year contract with an average annual value of $1.8 million.
Braun played in 62 regular-season games and all 16 playoff games in his first season with the Flyers.
He had three goals and 16 assists for 19 points in the regular season, ranking fourth among Flyers defensemen.
The Flyers made the move the same day defenseman Matt Niskanen told the team he would retire with a year left on his deal.
He had 33 points in 68 games for the Flyers last season. Niskanen won a Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals.
