Buffalo, NY - The Buffalo Sabres have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with free agent goaltender Jocelyn Thibault.

The club also signed left wing Andrew Peters to a two-year deal and forward Michael Ryan to a one-year contract.

Thibault appeared in 22 games for the Pittsburgh Penguins last season, posting a record of 7-8-2 with a 2.83 goals-against average. The 32-year old netminder has an overall career record of 235-234-68-5 and a 2.74 GAA in 15 NHL seasons with the Quebec Nordiques/Colorado Avalanche, Chicago Blackhawks and Penguins.

Peters played in a career-high 58 games for the Sabres last year, collecting two points and 125 penalty minutes. In three seasons with Buffalo, he has racked up 376 penalty minutes in 128 games.

'Andrew has been the consummate team player over the past few seasons,' Sabres general manager Darcy Regier said. 'He has committed himself to improving his conditioning and skills to further his development and add to his contributions to the team.'

Ryan played in 19 games last season with the Sabres, picking up five points.
