St. Louis Blues President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced today the club has signed forward Colin Fraser to a one-year, two-way contract.
Fraser, 29, split last season between the Los Angeles Kings and the American Hockey League’s (AHL) Manchester Monarchs. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound forward posted two assists and 30 penalty minutes in 33 regular season games with the Kings while recording six points (three goals, three assists) and four penalty minutes in 10 regular season games with the Monarchs.
Overall, the Sicamous, BC native has accumulated 58 points (20 goals, 38 assists) and 290 penalty minutes in 358 career NHL regular season games, including stints with Los Angeles, Edmonton and Chicago.
In addition, Fraser has tallied four points (one goal, three assists) and 16 penalty minutes in 39 career postseason games. He is a three-time Stanley Cup champion, winning with Chicago in 2010 and Los Angeles in 2012 and 2014.
Fraser was originally drafted by Philadelphia in the third round (69th overall) of the 2003 NHL Draft. In February 2004, his rights were obtained by Chicago; where he went on to spend his first four NHL seasons (2006-2010) before being acquired by Edmonton in the summer of 2010.
After one season with the Oilers (2010-11), Fraser was dealt to Los Angeles in June 2011, where he spent the last three seasons.
