Blues ink Scandella to 4-year extension

The St. Louis Blues have signed defenseman Marco Scandella to a four-year contract extension with an average annual value of $3.275 million, the team announced Thursday.

Scandella, 30, was acquired from the Montreal Canadiens prior to this season's trade deadline in exchange for a 2020 second-round pick and a conditional fourth-round selection in 2021. Montreal will now receive that fourth-rounder due to Scandella re-signing with St. Louis.

The veteran defenseman dressed in 11 games with the Blues this season, recording one assist. Overall, he appeared in 62 contests during 2019-20 before play was suspended, recording four goals and 13 points.
