EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -The Edmonton Oilers have bolstered their defense by re-signing defenseman Denis Grebeshkov to a one-year contract Tuesday.
The 25-year-old Grebeshkov had seven goals, 32 assists and 38 penalty minutes in 72 games last season – all career highs. He also led the Oilers with a plus-minus differential of plus-12.
The 6-foot, 209-pound native of Yaroslavl, Russia, has played 176 career NHL games with the Los Angeles Kings, New York Islanders and Oilers, recording 63 points (10 goals, 53 assists) and 80 penalty minutes.
Grebeshkov has represented Russia at three world hockey championships (2007, 2008 and 2009), helping his country win consecutive gold medals in 2008 and 2009.
