EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Kings signed
free-agent right wing Steve Heinze to a three-year, $6 million contract on Tuesday
night.
Heinze, 31, played in 79 games last season for the Buffalo
Sabres and the Columbus Blue Jackets, totaling 54 points -- including 27 goals -- and 46 penalty minutes. He also had seven
points and 10 penalty minutes in 13 playoff games for the Sabres.
Heinze began the 2000-2001 season with Columbus after the
first-year Blue Jackets selected him from Boston in the expansion
draft.
The Sabres acquired Heinze from Columbus at the NHL trade
deadline for a third-round choice in the entry draft last month.
