The Pittsburgh Penguins have found a backup goaltender to replace Marc-Andre Fleury.

The club has signed Antti Niemi to a one-year contract worth $700,000, the team announced Saturday.

Niemi, who will be 34 years old by the start of the regular season, was bought out by the Dallas Stars after posting an ugly .892 save percentage and a 3.30 goals-against average in 37 games in 2016-17.

The Finn does have championship pedigree, hoisting the Stanley Cup in 2010 with the Chicago Blackhawks.

He'll be asked to spell starter Matt Murray whenever he's in need of a game off. Murray will undoubtedly see a larger workload this coming season after Fleury, arguably last year's most proven backup goaltender, was claimed in the expansion draft by the Vegas Golden Knights.

Veteran netminder Brian Elliott agreed to terms with the Philadelphia Flyers on a two-year contract, the team announced Saturday.

The deal carries a $2.75-million annual cap hit, reports Stephen Whyno of The Associated Press.

Elliott arrives in Philadelphia after spending one season with the Calgary Flames, in which he posted a 26-18-3 record with a .910 save percentage.

The 32-year-old made his NHL debut with the Ottawa Senators in 2007.

The Detroit Red Wings added to their blueline in free agency Saturday, signing Trevor Daley to a 3-year contract, the club announced.

The deal's worth over $9 million.

Daley will be 34 in October, and had five goals and 14 assists in 56 games with Pittsburgh last season, averaging 20:23 in ice time.

The veteran is a back-to-back Stanley Cup champion, his season and a half with the Penguins producing two rings for the blueliner who was drafted 43rd overall by Dallas way back in 2002.

The Stanley Cup champions dipped into the free-agent pool for some defensive depth.

The Pittsburgh Penguins signed Matt Hunwick to a three-year contract worth $6.75 million.

Hunwick registered one goal and 18 assists in 72 games for the Toronto Maple Leafs last season, with an even strength Corsi rating of 49.1, per hockey reference.

The left-hand shot brings 479 games of regular-season experience to the Penguins after being drafted 224th overall by Boston in 2004.

Chad Johnson likes life in Buffalo.

The unrestricted free agent agreed to terms with the Buffalo Sabres on a one-year contract worth $2.5 million, the team announced Saturday.

Johnson spent the 2015-16 campaign with the Sabres, appearing in 45 games.

The 31-year-old spent last season with the Calgary Flames, posting an 18-15-1 record and a .910 save percentage.

The New Jersey Devils reportedly added Brian Boyle in free agency Saturday.

The big center signed a two-year contract worth approximately $5.1 million, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

Boyle, 32, was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs by the Tampa Bay Lightning last season. After scoring 13 goals and adding nine assists in 54 games in Florida, he was used on the fourth line in Toronto and managed only three assists in 21 regular-season games. He had two assists in the Leafs' six playoff games.

A wizard at faceoffs, the Devils know Boyle well, as the forward spent five seasons with the New York Rangers.

The Vancouver Canucks have been active in free agency.

Most notable, the team signed forward Sam Gagner and defenseman Michael Del Zotto, while also adding depth center Alex Burmistrov, defenseman Patrick Wiercioch and backup goaltender Anders Nilsson.

Here's a look at the term and valuation for each:

• Gagner: Three years, $9.45 million
• Del Zotto: Two years, $6 million
• Nilsson: Two years, $5 million
• Wiercioch: One year, $650,000

Gagner is coming off an 18-goal, 50-point season with Columbus, while Del Zotto will bring a much needed puck-moving, left-hand shot presence to the blue line.

Nilsson will spot Jacob Markstrom in net, vacating the roster spot left open by the departure of Ryan Miller.

Mr. Game Seven is headed back to Raleigh.

The Carolina Hurricanes signed veteran forward Justin Williams to a two-year contract worth $9 million, the club announced.

Williams will be 36 in early October, but he's still productive. He had 24 goals and 24 assists in 80 games last season with the Washington Capitals.

A three-time Stanley Cup champion, Williams' most productive season came with the Hurricanes in 2005-06, when he scored 31 goals and finished with 76 points. Carolina won the Cup that season, Williams scoring seven tallies and adding 11 assists during the successful playoff run.

Carolina's a young team on the rise, and certainly aren't in the Capitals' tier when it comes to contending for a championship. But Williams clearly enjoyed his previous years with the club, and will be relied upon as a leader in the dressing room and on the ice.

The Nashville Predators signed two-time Stanley Cup champion Nick Bonino to a four-year contract worth over $16 million, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Bonino, 29, will likely slot in as Nashville's second-line center behind Ryan Johansen, assuming they're able to sign the latter, who is a restricted free agent, to an extension.

In a third-line role, Bonino was able to carve out some impressive numbers in Pittsburgh. He scored 18 goals and added 19 assists in 80 games while only averaging 16:39 minutes per night. His ice time is surely set to increase in the Music City.

Though nothing is certain, the Bonino signing suggests that the Predators are out of the Matt Duchene sweepstakes.

The Nashville Predators traded forward Colin Wilson to the Colorado Avalanche, the club announced.

Colorado will send Nashville a fourth-round pick in 2019, and no salary will be retained by the Predators in the deal, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Wilson chipped in 12 goals and 35 points for the Predators in the regular season, adding four points in 14 playoff games.

The 27-year-old is under contract for two more years at a cap hit of $3,937,500.
