The Colorado Avalanche re-signed veteran forward Andrew Cogliano to a one-year contract on Tuesday.

One of the feel-good stories in the Avalanche's march to the Stanley Cup, Cogliano, 35, an in-season acquisition from the Anaheim Ducks, didn't make as much noise up front as many of the Colorado forwards did in the postseason, but he made his minutes count.

In 16 playoff games, working primarily on the team's fourth line, Cogliano had three goals and six points while averaging 9 minutes, 41 seconds of time on the ice en route to winning the title for the first time.
