Coyotes re-sign winger Upshall

PHOENIX — The Phoenix Coyotes have re-signed left wing Scottie Upshall to a one-year contract.

Terms of the contract were not disclosed Wednesday.

The 25-year-old Upshall set career highs in goals (15), assists (19), points (34) and games played (74) last season with Philadelphia and Phoenix. The Coyotes acquired him from Philadelphia on March 4 in a deal that sent Daniel Carcillo to the Flyers.

“We are excited to have signed Scottie Upshall to a new contract,” Phoenix general manager Don Maloney said in a statement. “He performed exceptionally well for us last season after we acquired him from Philadelphia and we expect him to be an important player for us next season.”
