The Boston Bruins signed undrafted college free agent Karson Kuhlman to a two-year, $1.5-million NHL contract, the team announced Tuesday.
The forward will join the AHL's Providence Bruins on an amateur tryout agreement for the rest of the season.
It's been quite a week for Kuhlman, who captained the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs to the Frozen Four championship Saturday. He was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player after recording four points, including a goal and an assist in the final against Notre Dame.
In total, Kuhlman, 22, finished his senior year with 13 goals and seven assists in 44 games.
