Ducks Sign Koivu
Anaheim, CA – Saku Koivu has left the Montreal Canadiens after 13 seasons to join the Anaheim Ducks.
The two-time All-Star center, who turns 35 in November, signed a one-year deal Wednesday.
Koivu was Montreal’s captain for nearly 10 years, tying Jean Beliveau for longest-serving in the team’s 100-year history. He had 191 goals, 450 assists and 623 penalty minutes with the Canadiens, the only team Koivu has played for during his NHL career.
