The Montreal Canadiens have agreed to terms with forward Artturi Lehkonen on a one-year contract worth $2.3 million, the team announced Saturday.

A second-round pick by the Canadiens in 2013, Lehkonen scored seven goals and added six assists in 47 games last season.

The 26-year-old was a valuable contributor to the team’s Cup Final run, scoring three goals — including an overtime-winner — and adding one assist.
