The Tampa Bay Lightning signed goaltender Anders Lindback to a two-year, $3.9 million contract that pays $1.4 million next season and $2.2 million in 2013-14. Lindback, acquired from the Predators as the long-term answer to the team's issues in net, was a restricted free agent, so, as he said about signing a contract, "It was just a matter of time."

That said, he added, "I'm really happy with this deal and excited to get going."

Here is the announcement from the team:
