Ross Colton Inks New Two-Year Deal With Tampa Bay
3 years agoThe Tampa Bay Lightning signed forward Ross Colton to a two-year, $2.25 million contract ($1.25 million average annual value) on Monday. The 24-year-old, who scored the Stanley-Cup-clinching goal in Game 5 of the Cup Final, was previously a restricted free agent and had an arbitration hearing scheduled for next Monday. Colton burst into the NHL this season with a fairly impressive showing in 30 games, posting 12 points (nine goals, three assists), a plus-three rating and 46 shots while averaging just 10:34 of ice time. With the Lightning having lost some key contributors to free agency this offseason, the Colton should be tasked with a larger role in Tampa Bay in 2021-2022.
