The Buffalo Sabres have re-signed defenceman Brandon Montour to a one-year, $3.85-million contract, the team announced Saturday.

The 26-year-old from Brantford, Ont., racked up 18 points across 54 games last season.

Montour was acquired by the Sabres from the Anaheim Ducks prior to the 2018-19 trade deadline in exchange for fellow defenceman Brendan Guhle and a 2019 first-round pick. He finished the campaign with a career-best 35 points in 82 games.

The former second-round pick (55th overall) by the Ducks in the 2014 NHL draft has collected 91 points in 243 regular-season games across four seasons.
