Canadiens sign Alzner to 5-year deal

Karl Alzner is headed north.

The Montreal Canadiens signed the former Washington Capitals defenseman to a five-year contract in free agency, the club announced. It's a big-money deal:d.

Alzner, 29 in late September, had three goals and 13 points in 82 games last season. The stay-at-home defender has been a mainstay on the Caps' blueline for the past seven seasons, regularly averaging 20 minutes of ice time per game.

He'll do the same in Montreal, no doubt.
