The Kings have signed restricted free agent right wing Teddy Purcell to a one-year contract.

The 24-year-old Purcell played in 40 games with the Kings this season, scoring four goals and 16 points. He also played 38 games with the Kings’ American Hockey League affiliate in New Hampshire, the Manchester Monarchs, scoring 16 goals and 38 points.

The 6-foot-3, 202-pound native of St. John’s, Newfoundland, led the Monarchs in goals and ranked second in points when he was recalled to the Kings on Feb. 23. A month earlier, Purcell was named to the 2009 Canadian AHL All-Star Team.
