Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the Canucks have re-signed defenceman Adam Clendening.
Clendening, 22, appeared in 17 games with the Canucks during the 2014.15 season, registering two assists (0-2-2) and eight penalty minutes. The Niagara Falls, New York native also registered five points (1-4-5) and 28 penalty minutes in 11 regular season games with the Utica Comets. In 23 playoff games for Utica, Clendening ranked second among Comets defencemen in scoring registering eight points (3-5-8). He also split time this season with the Chicago Blackhawks and Rockford IceHogs, collecting two points (1-1-2) in four games with Chicago and 13 points (1-12-13) in 38 games with Rockford.
The 6’0”, 190-pound Clendening was acquired from Chicago in exchange for Gustav Forsling on January 29, 2015. He was originally selected by Chicago in the second round, 36th overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
