Brian Gionta is drawing interest from a couple of teams in the Eastern Conference, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
The Boston Bruins are believed to be one of the teams in the mix for the 39-year-old, LeBrun adds.
Gionta is fresh off representing USA as team captain at PyeongChang 2018, recording no points in five games as his squad failed to qualify for the medal round. However, while overseas, his agent was in talks with NHL teams about landing his client a job.
The veteran winger last played in the NHL in 2016-17, recording 15 goals and 20 assists in 82 contests with the Buffalo Sabres. He has over 1,000 games under his belt, and an additional 112 coming in the playoffs.
