Panthers, Versteeg agree to 4-year deal

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) - The Florida Panthers and right wing Kris Versteeg have agreed to a four-year contract.

Versteeg has 88 goals and 201 points in 321 career NHL games with Chicago, Toronto, Philadelphia and Florida. He also was part of Chicago's Stanley Cup-winning team in 2010.

Versteeg played on Florida's top line last season, alongside Stephen Weiss and Tomas Fleischmann.
