The Pittsburgh Penguins avoided arbitration with center Zach Aston-Reese, signing him to a one-year, $1.725 million contract Thursday.
Aston-Reese, 26, was one of 17 restricted free agents in the NHL to file for arbitration earlier this month.
He has played all three-plus of his NHL seasons with the Penguins and is now tied to them for another year.
