Oilers re-sign Kulak to 4-year contract

The Edmonton Oilers are retaining defenseman Brett Kulak on a four-year pact carrying an average annual value of $2.75 million, the team announced Wednesday.

Edmonton acquired Kulak from the Montreal Canadiens before this past season's trade deadline. He collected eight points in 18 regular-season games with the Oilers before adding another five in 16 playoff contests.

The 28-year-old spent three-plus seasons with the Canadiens after playing his first four campaigns with the Calgary Flames.

Calgary drafted Kulak 105th overall in 2012.
