Tampa, FL -- (Sports Network) - The Tampa Bay Lightning signed unrestricted free agent forwards Mark Recchi and Brandon Bochenski on Tuesday.

Recchi, who is about to embark on his 20th NHL season, comes in on a one-year contract, while Bochenski was signed to a two-year deal.

"Mark Recchi is a guy who we will be counting on both on and off the ice," said club vice president of hockey operations Brian Lawton. "Adding him to the roster significantly increases our depth. As a two-time Stanley Cup champion and a great leader, having him in the locker room will help our younger players and also create a strong culture in the dressing room."

The 40-year-old winger is joining the Lightning for the upcoming season after splitting time with Pittsburgh and Atlanta last season. He finished the season with 14 goals and 34 assists in 72 contests.

In 1,410 career games, which includes stints with Philadelphia, Montreal and Carolina, Recchi has piled up 522 goals and 859 assists. He won Stanley Cup titles in 1991 with Pittsburgh and 2006 with Carolina.

Bochenski played 40 games last season with the Bruins, Ducks and Predators, picking up three goals and 13 points.

The 26-year-old Minnesota native has compiled 24 goals and 54 points over 121 NHL games with five clubs in only three campaigns.
