Phoenix Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney announced that the Coyotes have re-signed left wing Josh Gratton to a one-year contract.

Gratton, 24, recorded 1-1-2 in 52 games last season. The 6-foot-2, 214-pound forward also led the Coyotes and ranked 2nd in the NHL last season with 188 penalty minutes (PIM). The Coyotes collected a record of 25-25-2 in games in which Gratton was in the lineup last season.

Gratton was also named the Coyotes’ Man of the Year last season for his commitment and dedication to the community.
