The Arizona Coyotes announced Saturday that they signed defenseman Jordan Gross and forward Dryden Hunt to one-year, two-way contracts.
Gross returns to the Coyotes organization after making his NHL debut with the team last season. He played two games, the first of which was on Dec. 22, and he recorded one assist.
With the Tucson Roadrunners, the 25-year-old’s 10 goals led defensemen on the team and his 27 points ranked second among Roadrunners defensemen.
Gross initially signed a two-way entry-level contract with the Coyotes in April 2018.
