\n\tSteelers Re-Sign a Star Receiver<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tPittsburgh Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert stressed that one of the team’s biggest goals during the off-season was to make wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le’Veon Bell vital parts of the organization “for life.”<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Steelers signed Brown, a perennial All-Pro, to a new five-year contract, following through on a promise the club made last summer. The team also placed an exclusive-rights franchise tag on Bell, opening the negotiating window to reach a long-term agreement with him by the start of training camp.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBrown’s new contract runs through 2021 and will pay him more than $72 million, making him one of the highest-paid <\/span><\/span>nonquarterbacks<\/span><\/span> in the league. Brown, 28, is one of two players in N.F.L. history to catch at least 100 passes in four consecutive seasons. Bell, 25, led the N.F.L. in average yards from scrimmage last season.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAlex Galchenyuk scored on a power play at 2 minutes 54 seconds of overtime, and the Montreal Canadiens rallied from a two-goal deficit in the third period to defeat the Devils, 4-3, in Newark.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMax Pacioretty scored twice in the final 11:23 of regulation to tie the game, and Alexander Radulov added a goal for the Canadiens. Al Montoya had 34 saves for Montreal.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKyle Palmieri, John <\/span><\/span>Moore<\/span><\/span> and Travis Zajac scored for the Devils. Cory Schneider made 29 saves.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMAPLE LEAFS TRADE FOR BOYLE<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tToronto acquired forward Brian Boyle in a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tampa Bay gets a 2017 second-round pick and the minor league forward Byron Froese. Boyle, 32, a pending unrestricted free agent, has 13 goals and nine assists in 54 games this season. Boyle is a defensive-minded forward who can win face-offs and give Toronto depth down the middle.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
