PRESS RELEASE

MONTREAL — Montreal Canadiens general manager Pierre Gauthier announced Tuesday the signing of forward James T. Wyman to a one-year, two-way contract for the 2010-11 season. As per club policy, financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Wyman, 24, was held scoreless in three games with the Canadiens this season, including his first career NHL game on November 24 against the Columbus Blue Jackets at the Bell Centre.

The 6-foot-2, 199-pound right winger also recorded 37 points (17 goals, 20 assists) in 76 games with the Hamilton Bulldogs in 2009-10, including three power play goals and two game-winners. Wyman maintained a plus-9 differential, adding 163 shots on goal and 12 penalty minutes.

A native of Edina, Minnesota, Wyman was selected in the fourth round, 100th overall by the Canadiens at the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
