Lightning's Niko Huuhtanen: Signs entry-level deal

Huuhtanen signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Lightning on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

Huuhtanen posted 46 points over 52 regular-season games with Jukurit of Finland's Liiga in 2023-24. The entry-level deal begins in 2024-25, and he'll likely start that contract as a member of AHL Syracuse. Huuhtanen was a seventh-round pick in 2021.
