The Detroit Red Wings have signed a former Boston Bruin to a one-year contract on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Wings signed defenseman Steven Kampfer to a one-year deal worth $750,000 for the 2022-23 NHL season. Kampfer was selected by the Anaheim Ducks in the 4th round, 93rd overall, of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. However, after three years at the University of Michigan, he signed his entry-level contract with the Boston Bruins in March of 2010 after being dealt for a conditional fourth-round pick.
Kampfer played 113 games with the Bruins, collecting 10 goals and 15 assists and became an important piece in Boston's 2011 season after Brad Stuart was traded to the Atlanta Thrashers. Unfortunately, he suffered a minor knee injury on April 9, 2011, and was not able to rejoin the Bruins during the 2011 Stanley Cup run. Kampfer played in 38 games, three short of what is required to have his name engraved onto the Stanley Cup.
