GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) The Arizona Coyotes have signed Luke Schenn to a two-year contract.

The 26-year-old defenseman had four goals and 12 assists in 72 games with the Philadelphia Flyers and Los Angeles Kings last season. In his career, Schenn has 28 goals and 100 assists in 566 games with the Kings, Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Schenn was the first-round draft pick - fifth selection overall - by the Maple Leafs in 2008.

Coyotes general manager John Chayka called Schenn ''a good, young defenseman'' who will be ''a solid addition'' to the Arizona blue line.
