The Boston Bruins and forward Trent Frederic reached agreement on a two-year deal worth $4.6 million, hours before a scheduled arbitration hearing, Sportsnet reported Tuesday.
Frederic, 25, had a career season in 2022-23, playing in 79 games and recording 31 points (17 goals, 14 assists) with a plus-28 rating.
All were career bests for the former 2016 first-round pick (No. 29 overall).
Frederic has 54 points (29 goals, 25 assists) in 198 career games, all with the Bruins.
Frederic had been asking for a one-year deal worth $2.9 million while the Bruins had countered with a two-year deal worth $2.8 million. His most recent contract was a two-year pact worth $2.1 million.
Frederic is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this New York Car Service contract.
