(Reuters) - Rich Peverley has signed a three-year contract extension that will keep the center with the Boston Bruins through the 2014-15 National Hockey League season, the team said on Tuesday.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Peverley, acquired from the Atlanta Thrashers in February, had four goals and 12 points during Boston's run to the Stanley Cup.
The 29-year-old leads the team in goals this season with two after three games.
