Blackhawks sign Campbell and Huet

CHICAGO (UPI) -- The Chicago Blackhawks signed defenseman Brian Campbell and goalie Cristobal Huet Monday on the NHL's first day of free agency.

Chicago signed Campbell, 29, to an eight-year contract. Campbell, one of the top free agents on the market, had an eight-goal, 54-assist campaign with Buffalo and San Jose last season.

The Blackhawks gave up 235 goals last season. Chicago finished with a 40-34-8 mark, which placed it 10th position in the Western Conference.

Huet, a 32-year-old Frenchman, was 32-14-6 with Montreal and Washington last season. He had four shutouts and a 2.32 goals against average while finishing the regular season with a nine-game winning streak.
