The Tampa Bay Lightning have re-signed Andrej Sustr to a one-year, $1.95-million contract, general manager Steve Yzerman announced Monday.

The right-handed defenseman appeared in 80 games for the Lightning last season, registering three goals and 11 assists, while averaging 17:35 of ice time per game.

Sustr was set to become a restricted free agent, and earns a $500,000 raise over his 2016-17 salary.
