CALGARY – The Calgary Flames have signed forward Alex Nylander to a one-year, two-way contract worth US$850,000.
The 28-year-old son of Michael Nylander, who played for the Flames between 1993 and 1999, went to Calgary’s training camp on a professional tryout offer.
Alex Nylander, who was born in Calgary, had 24 goals and 29 assists in 65 American Hockey League games with the Toronto Marlies last season.
The six-foot-one, 205-pound winger scored six goals in all 24 playoff games for the Marlies, who won the championship Calder Cup.
