MONTREAL -- Defenseman Nathan Beaulieu has signed a two-year, $2 million contract, the Montreal Canadiens said Saturday.
Beaulieu, 22, had one goal and eight assists in 64 games this season.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Beaulieu is set to earn $1 million per season, a slight increase on the $925,000 he made in 2014-15 in the final season of a three-year entry-level contract. He can become a restricted free agent in 2017-18.
In 87 career NHL games, Beaulieu has one goal and 12 assists. He has three assists in 12 playoff games.
Montreal drafted Beaulieu 17th overall in 2011 from the Saint John Sea Dogs.
