Blues sign Scottie Upshall to 1-year deal

The St. Louis Blues signed veteran forward Scottie Upshall to a one-year contract, the team announced Sunday.

The deal is reportedly worth $800,000, according to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic.

Upshall, 33, spent the last two seasons with the Blues, registering 16 goals and 16 assists in 143 games while being used as a fourth-liner and penalty-kill specialist.

The former sixth overall pick by the Nashville Predators is just four regular-season games away from 700 for his career.
