Dylan Reese, the veteran defenseman that played for the Isles, Penguins and Coyotes, has hopped the pond to sign in Sweden with HV71, the club announced on Monday.

Reese, 31, has spent the last few seasons with the Arizona organization, and appeared in 23 AHL contests with Portland last year. His last NHL action came with the Coyotes during the ’14-15 campaign.

This will be the second European excursion of Reese’s career. The former Harvard standout spent one season playing in the KHL, but returned to North America in 2014.
