MONTREAL (AP) -The Montreal Canadiens have avoided salary arbitration with center Tomas Plekanec, signing him to a one-year contract worth $2.75 million.
The 26-year-old Plekanec is coming off his fifth season with the Canadiens. He posted his third consecutive 20-goal campaign (20 goals, 19 assists) and was one of only three Habs players not to miss a game because of injury last season.
The Czech, a third-round pick in the 2001 draft, has 184 points (78 goals, 106 assists) and a plus-20 rating in 311 regular-season games since 2003-04.
