The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team has signed defenseman Nathan Beaulieu to a two-year contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $2.4 million.

A first-round pick (17th overall) in the 2011 NHL Draft, Beaulieu (6'2", 205 lbs., 12/5/1992) was acquired by the Sabres in June after the defenseman turned in career-high totals in games played (74), goals (4), assists (24) and points (28) during his fifth NHL season with the Montreal Canadiens in 2016-17.
Beaulieu has appeared in 225 career NHL regular-season games, recording 60 points (7+53) and a plus-19 rating. The Strathroy, Ontario native has added four points in 17 career playoff games with the Canadiens.
