TORONTO (AP) Brendan Morrison re-signed with the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday after winning his arbitration case against the club.

Morrison will reportedly earn $2.15 million next year and $2.45 million the following season under the two-year contract.

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound center made just $775,000 last season.

Morrison, New Jersey's third pick (39th overall) in the 1993 draft, had a breakthrough season last year, with 23 goals and 44 assists in 82 games. He played the better part of the year centering the Canucks' top line between Markus Naslund and Todd Bertuzzi.
