Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) – Unrestricted free-agent forward Dustin Penner remained in southern California on Tuesday, but changed his address to one slightly further south, signing a one-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks.<\/p>\n
Penner totaled just two goals and 12 assists in 33 regular-season games for the Kings last season, but added three goals and five points in 18 playoff contests.<\/p>\n
He was a member of the Kings’ Stanley Cup winners in 2012, posting 17 points in 65 regular-season games and 11 points in 20 postseason tilts.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old winger began his career with the Anaheim franchise, making his NHL debut in the 2005-06 season. In his first full season in 2006-07, Penner tallied 29 goals and 45 points while playing in all 82 regular-season games, then helped the Ducks win their first and only Cup with eight points that postseason.<\/p>\n
However, the Oilers snagged the budding star in the 2007 offseason thanks to an offer sheet worth more than $21 million over five years, which drew the ire of then-GM Brian Burke and sparked a war of words between he and counterpart Kevin Lowe.<\/p>\n
He spent the next four years in Edmonton before arriving in LA for the 2010-11 season.<\/p>\n
In 522 NHL games, Penner has racked up 137 goals and 275 points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
