ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) The Anaheim Ducks have signed holdout defenseman Hampus Lindholm to a six-year, $31.5 million contract.

The Ducks announced the end of the stalemate Thursday.

The 22-year-old Lindholm is arguably the Ducks' top young defenseman, scoring 92 points in 236 games over the past three seasons while honing his two-way game.

The Swede missed the Ducks' first eight games while holding out as a restricted free agent. He has been working out daily at home with a Swedish Elite League team.

Lindholm agreed to a deal worth slightly less than the six-year, $32.4 million deal signed by Buffalo defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen earlier this month.

Winnipeg's Jacob Trouba is the NHL's only remaining restricted free agent without a deal.
