The Vancouver Canucks have re-signed forward Alex Burrows to a reported four-year deal.

The left winger scored 52 points with the Canucks last season while collecting 90 penalty minutes during the 80 games in which he appeared, according to the team’s website.

Burrows is tenth all time for scoring game winning goals in Canucks history and last year set a career high in the category with seven goals.

The news comes a day before the deadline for an NHL players’ lockout and on the day the team learned veteran Phoenix Coyotes forward Shane Doan would not be joining the Canucks.
