Richard, who spend the 2023-24 season between the Providence and Boston Bruins signed with the Flyers on Tuesday.

The Flyers tweeted:

“OFFICIAL: We have signed center Anthony Richard to a two-year, two-way contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $775,000. #LetsGoFlyers”

The 27-year-old had a goal and two assists in nine NHL games for the Bruins after signing with Boston last summer. Richard has four goals and four assists in 24 career NHL games with the Bruins, Canadiens and Predators. He was a fourth-round pick of Nashville in 2015.

The Bruins liked Richard’s play, but sent him back to Providence to risk exposing him to waivers last year. He had 55 points on 25 goals, 30 assists in 59 regular games for the P-Bruins.
