Coyotes sign Luke Schenn to 2-year contract

The Arizona Coyotes are taking a chance on Luke Schenn.

The club signed the 26-year-old to a two-year contract, the team announced Saturday.

While the terms were not announced, the deal will pay Schenn an annual average of $1.25 million, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

"We are very pleased to sign Luke to a two-year contract," general manager John Chayka said in a release. "He's a good, young defenseman and we feel we can optimize his performance here. He will be a solid addition to our blue line."

Schenn split last season between the Philadelphia Flyers and Los Angeles Kings, putting up four goals and 16 points in 72 games. He added another two points in five playoff games.
