Veteran forward Chris Kreider, 35, agreed to a one-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday after mutually terminating his previous deal with the Anaheim Ducks earlier in the week. Kreider, who has 348 career goals and 632 points, returns to the Eastern Conference to continue his NHL career. The move gives Montreal an experienced scoring forward heading into the season, while closing the book on his brief tenure with Anaheim.
