The Bruins have signed forward Marc Savard to a seven-year contract extension that would keep him in Boston through the 2017 season.

Financial terms of the deal, announced Tuesday, were not disclosed.

Savard scored 25 goals with 63 assists last year and led the Bruins in scoring for the third straight year since he signed as a free agent in the summer of 2006.

He also led the team in playoff scoring the past two years while making the last two All-Star Games.

Savard has twice finished in the league's top 10 in scoring with at least 95 points.

He has four goals and six assists this season.

Savard will be approaching his 40th birthday when the contract expires.
