Chicago Blackhawks forward Andreas Athanasiou signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract that runs through the 2024-25 season, the team announced Thursday.

Athanasiou, 28, was headed for unrestricted free agency prior to agreeing to the deal. He recorded 40 points (20 goals, 20 assists) in 81 games last season, his first with the Blackhawks after signing a one-year, $3 million contract in the summer.

Athanasiou has totaled 236 points (125 goals, 111 assists) in 459 career games with the Detroit Red Wings (2015-20), Edmonton Oilers (2020), Los Angeles Kings (2020-22) and Blackhawks.
