Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - The Detroit Red Wings reclaimed a piece of their championship puzzle on Sunday, signing free agent forward Mikael Samuelsson to a two-year contract.

Samuelsson totaled 13 goals and 28 points in 48 games for the Florida Panthers last season after his acquisition from the Vancouver Canucks, for whom he picked up three points in six contests.

The 35-year-old Swedish winger skated for Detroit from 2005-09, appearing in two Stanley Cup Finals and winning one title in 2008.

In 669 NHL appearances for six clubs, Samuelsson has recorded 148 goals and 342 points.
