Blackhawks re-sign defenseman David Rundblad to two-year deal

The Blackhawks have agreed to a two-year contract extension with defenseman David Rundblad, the team announced Monday.

The deal reportedly carries a cap hit of $1 million, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Rundblad, 24, registered 14 points (three goals and 11 assists) in 49 regular-season games with the Blackhawks last season and also appeared in five postseason games en route to his first Stanley Cup championship.

While he was a healthy scratch throughout the majority of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Blackhawks don't have much room to work with this offseason being up against the salary cap, so it's a nice low-risk signing that fills a need.
