The Phoenix Coyotes have signed former Pittsburgh Penguins forward
Steve Sullivan to a one-year contract, the club said in a statement.
Sullivan, a 15-year NHL veteran, was the sixth-highest scorer last
year for the Penguins, notching 17 goals and 38 assists.
“We are very pleased to welcome Steve to the Coyotes,” said Coyotes
General Manager Don Maloney in the statement. “Steve is an
intelligent player who adds skill to our lineup and will help improve
our power play. He is a great addition to our roster.”
Sullivan, 37, has topped the 20-goal mark eight times in his career.
Assuming he stays healthy, he will mark his 1,000th career NHL game
with the Coyotes.
The one-year contract is reportedly worth $1.85 million, but the
Coyotes did not release the figure, per club policy.
