The Anaheim Ducks are adding some toughness to their lineup, signing forward Jared Boll to a two-year contract worth $1.8 million, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
The 30-year-old had spent his entire nine-year NHL career with the Columbus Blue Jackets, posting a career-high 14 points in 2009-10. He's recorded at least 100 penalty minutes on seven different occasions.
Last season, Boll was limited to just 30 games, recording one goal and two assists.

In 2013, then New Jersey Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello gave his legendary goaltender Martin Brodeur the honor of selecting his own son, Anthony, during the seventh round of the NHL Entry Draft.
Three years later, Lamoriello is now in Toronto and after the younger Brodeur never received a contract from the Devils, the Maple Leafs GM invited the 21-year-old to the team's development camp.
"I'm going to take a tryout from an NHL team any day," Anthony said, according to Jonas Siegel of the Canadian Press.
Last season, Brodeur led the BCHL with 28 victories while posting an excellent 1.99 goals-against average and a .931 save percentage with the Penticton Vees.
The Maple Leafs currently have four goalies under contract with Frederik Andersen, Jonathan Bernier, Antoine Bibeau and Kasimir Kaskisuo. Meanwhile, Garret Sparks - who appeared in 17 games for Toronto last season - remains a restricted free agent.
