Campbell returns to Blackhawks after agreeing to 1-year deal

CHICAGO - Defenceman Brian Campbell has agreed to a one-year contract with the Chicago Blackhawks and is returning to the team he helped win the Stanley Cup.

The 37-year-old Campbell played in Chicago from 2008 to 2011 and was part of a team that won it all in 2010 — the first of three titles in a six-year span for the Blackhawks.

He spent the past five seasons with the Florida Panthers, appearing in all of the team's 376 regular-season games. He had 28 goals and 147 assists and won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy in 2011-12 after scoring 53 points (four goals, 49 assists). He was the first defenceman since Red Kelly (1954) to win the award.

In his first stint with the Blackhawks, Campbell had 19 goals and 98 assists in 215 games. In 43 playoff games for Chicago, he had 14 assists and four goals — including four assists and a goal during the championship run.

The Blackhawks announced the signing on Friday.
