The Phoenix Coyotes have re-signed left wing Wojtek Wolski to a two-year, $7.6-million contract, the team announced on Monday.
“We are very excited to sign Wojtek to a new contract,” Coyotes general manager Don Maloney said in a statement. “He is a talented offensive player who performed extremely well for us last season down the stretch and led our team in goals during the playoffs. He will be a key contributor for the Coyotes going forward as he enters the prime of his career.”
Wolski, established new career-highs last season in goals (23), assists (42), points (65), games played (80) and plus/minus (+21) while splitting the year between Colorado and Phoenix. After recording 47 points in 62 games with the Avalanche, Wolski was traded to the Coyotes in exchange for forwards Peter Mueller and Kevin Porter on March 3, 2010. Wolski appeared in the final 18 games of the regular season for the Coyotes and collected 18 points to finish the season with a team-leading 65 points. He also played in all seven postseason games for the Coyotes and led the team in playoff goals with four.
In 320 career NHL games with Colorado and the Coyotes, the native of Zabrze, Poland has registered 211 (79 goals, 132 assists) points. He was originally drafted by Colorado in the first round (21st overall) of the 2004 Entry Draft.
