Viktor Stalberg signs with Swiss club

Viktor Stalberg is heading to Europe.

The forward signed a two-year contract Monday to play for EV Zug of Switzerland's National League.

The 31-year-old winger split last season between the Carolina Hurricanes and Ottawa Senators, and was acquired by the latter in order to shore up forward depth for a playoff run that lasted until Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final.

Stalberg signed a four-year, $12-million deal with the Nashville Predators in 2013, but was bought out two years later. He spent a season with the New York Rangers before joining the Hurricanes.

Drafted 161st overall in 2006 by Toronto, Stalberg registered 82 goals and 86 assists in 488 NHL appearances, and won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2013.
