Coyotes' Craig Cunningham: Inks one-year extension

Cunningham signed a one-year contract extension with the Coyotes on Thursday, TSN reports.

Cunningham was a popular call-up option for the Coyotes in 2015-16. The 25-year-old is at that tough stage where he holds his own in the minor leagues, but isn't quite ready for a full-time role in the NHL. Last season, he recorded 22 goals, 24 assists and 20 PIM with AHL Springfield, though he only managed one assist in 10 games with Arizona.
