Michael Bunting signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old forward had 33 points (14 goals, 19 assists) in 74 regular-season games for the Nashville Predators and Dallas Stars last season, including one goal and one assist in 13 games with Dallas after he was acquired in a trade on March 5. He had one assist in one Stanley Cup Playoff game.
Bunting was an unrestricted free agent since July 1.
Selected by the Arizona Coyotes in the fourth round (No. 117) of the 2014 NHL Draft, Bunting has 252 points (109 goals, 143 assists) in 418 regular-season games for the Coyotes, Toronto Maple Leafs, Carolina Hurricanes, Pittsburgh Penguins, Predators and Stars, and six points (two goals, four assists) in 14 playoff games.
Philadelphia has lost its first four games this season (0-2-2) and has been outscored 17-5, including 4-1 at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday. The Flyers visit the Ottawa Senators on Thursday.
