The Calgary Flames have signed defenseman Nikita Zadorov to a one-year deal worth $3.75 million, the team announced Friday.
Zadorov was a restricted free agent and had filed for arbitration. He'll be an unrestricted free agent after the 2021-22 season.
The Flames acquired the 26-year-old from the Chicago Blackhawks in July in exchange for a 2022 third-round pick.
Zadorov skated in 55 games with the Blackhawks last season, recording one goal, seven assists, and 190 hits. He's collected 23 goals and 60 assists in 411 career games split between the Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, and Buffalo Sabres.
