Bruins Bring Back Shattenkirk, Prospects File Arbitration

Kevin Shattenkirk signed a one-year contract to return to the Bruins, where he will likely play a role on the third defensive pairing and second power-play unit.
Shattenkirk adds experience, skill, and offensive ability to the Bruins' blue line. He was the second-highest scoring defenseman for the Ducks last season.
The Bruins' top prospects, including goalie Jeremy Swayman, forward Trent Frederic, and defenseman Ian Mitchell, have filed for arbitration to ensure they receive contracts for the upcoming season.
Shattenkirk played for the Ducks for the past three seasons before signing a one-year, $1.05 million contract to rejoin the Bruins.
Promising Bruins prospects Fabian Lysell and John Beecher continue to develop in hopes of earning spots on the NHL roster.
