he Chicago Blackhawks re-signed forward Tuomo Ruutu to a two-year contract Wednesday.
Financial terms of the deal with the No. 9 pick in the 2001 draft weren't immediately available.
The 23-year-old center was returning to Chicago from Finland and was expected to report on Thursday for the first day of training camp, Blackhawks spokesman Jim DeMaria said.
The 6-2, 200-pound Ruutu played in only 15 games last season due to ankle and back injuries. He had two goals and five assists.
