On Wednesday, the Bruins signed forward Petteri Nokelainen to a multi-year contract. I think this is good for the Bruins, keeping Nokelainen as he played good for 3rd/4th line player during the season and in the playoffs.
The Imatra, Finland native spent the majority of the '07-'08 season playing in Boston and posted the highest NHL totals of his career for game appearances (57), goals (7), assists (3), and points (10). He also played in all seven games in the postseason for Boston and contributed two assists. Nokelainen began last season with Boston's American Hockey League affiliate in Providence and registered 3-5-8 totals in eight games there before being recalled to Boston on November 4, 2007 for the remainder of the season. Nokelainen rejoined Providence in the Calder Cup playoffs and tallied 4-1-5 totals in six appearances.
