Coyotes Sign Forward Bissonnette to Two-Year Extension

The Phoenix Coyotes announced on Monday that they have signed left wing Paul Bissonnette to a two-year contract extension. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He would have been a restricted free agent this summer. In 40 games this season with the Coyotes, he has three goals and two assists for five points and 112 penalty minutes. In 55 career NHL games with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Phoenix Coyotes, he has three goals and three assists for six points and 134 penalty minutes. Not a bad depth signing for the Coyotes, as Bissonnette is a hard-working player on the ice and plays with a lot of toughness. He should continue to fill the enforcer role in Phoenix quite nicely over the next two seasons.
