The Colorado Avalanche re-signed veteran forward Andrew Cogliano to a one-year $825,000 contract on Saturday.

Cogliano, who was an unrestricted free agent, had 10 goals and nine assists in 79 games with the Avalanche this past season.

He was acquired from the San Jose Sharks in March 2022 and helped the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup that year with three goals and three assists in 16 playoff games.

The 36-year-old from Toronto was drafted in the first round, 25th overall, by the Edmonton Oilers in 2005. He has played in 1,219 career games with 445 points (184 goals and 261 assists) over 16 seasons with the Oilers, Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars, Sharks and Avalanche.
