TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning have agreed to terms with free agent forward Antti Miettinen to a two-year, one-way contract today, Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman announced.
Miettinen, 6-foot-0, 190 pounds, appeared in 20 games with Ak-Bars Kazan of Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League this season, recording two goals and eight points. He last appeared in an NHL game as a member of the Minnesota Wild during the 2010-11 season when he registered 16 goals and 35 points in 73 games played. He also tied for the team lead that year in power-play goals with eight and game-winning goals with four.

SYF, they also put him on waivers today, so he has to clear first.

Thanks, Paul. I was looking for that and found it odd that that wasn’t mentioned.
