The Calgary Flames signed forward Sam Bennett to a two-year, $3.9-million contract, the team announced Wednesday.

The news comes just a day after it was reported by TSN's Darren Dreger that there was a "sizable gap" in contract demands from both Bennett and the Flames.

The 21-year-old - who was a restricted free agent - is coming off a 2016-17 campaign that saw regression from his rookie year. Bennett tallied just 13 goals and 26 points in his second season in the league, after finishing with 18 goals and 36 points in 2016.

With Bennett now under contract, the Flames have come to terms with all of their pending free agents.
