With a nasty injury behind him, veteran center Robert Lang is eager join a Coyotes team that he says could be a surprise this season.
“I think people look at this team and say, ‘Oh, yeah, it’s a younger team and last year and this and that,” Lang said, “but I think they have a real solid goalie (Ilya Bryzgalov), and if you look at this team now, they have a few veteran players and the younger guys are a year older, have a year behind them. If we do our job, we could do well.”
Lang, 38, signed a one-year contract Tuesday.
The 15-year veteran had registered 50 or more points for eight consecutive seasons. Last season, he had 18 goals and 39 points in 50 games for the Canadiens before his Achilles’ tendon was severed.
The 6-foot-3, 217-pounder has appeared in 925 games with seven teams (252 goals, 674 points):Los Angeles, Boston, Pittsburgh, Washington, Detroit, Chicago and Montreal, with a plus-59 rating. He also has appeared in 87 postseason games.
