The Boston Bruins added another college star Monday, announcing the signing of Denver Pioneers forward Danton Heinen to a three-year, entry-level contract beginning next season.
A fourth-round pick of the Bruins in 2014, Heinen led the Pioneers to the NCAA Frozen Four with a team-best 20 goals and 48 points in 41 games this past year.
He will report to the AHL's Providence Bruins for the remainder of the 2015-16 season.
He is the fourth college player to sign with Boston in recent weeks, joining forward Sean Kuraly and defensemen Rob O'Gara and Matt Grzelcyk.
