The Boston Bruins have avoided arbitration with forward Trent Frederic by agreeing to a two-year $4.6 million deal on Tuesday.
Frederic, 25, was a restricted free agent and was scheduled to go to arbitration on Tuesday.
The 6-foot-3 centre had a career season in 2022-23, registering 17 goals and 31 points in 79 games. He appeared in five games of the Bruins' seven-game series with the Florida Panthers in the first round but did not record a point.

The St. Louis native represented the United States at the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship in Buffalo, scoring five goals in seven games en route to a bronze medal.
