Anaheim have agreed a new $11.8m, four-year contract with long-serving centre Steve Rucchin.

The Mighty Ducks had the second-fewest goals in the NHL last season and need Rucchin to be back to his best for the new campaign.

Injuries have limited the 31-year-old to 54 games over the last two seasons.

In 2001-02, he missed 44 games due to a stress fracture of his left tibia and had seven goals and 16 assists.

The restricted free agent was selected by Anaheim with the second overall pick in the 1994 supplemental draft and has spent his entire career with the Ducks.

He ranks third on the team's all-time list with 113 goals, 218 assists and 331 points.

Rucchin also has 116 penalty minutes in 452 NHL games.

His best season was 1996-97, when he had 19 goals, 48 assists and a plus-26 rating.

Anaheim finished last in the Pacific Division last season with a 29-42-8-3 record and its 175 goals were just 11 more than Columbus.
