The Edmonton Oilers signed veteran defenseman Connor Murphy to a five-year, $20.5 million contract on Monday.

Murphy, 33, had four points in 20 games with the Oilers after arriving in a March 2 trade with Chicago.

He tallied 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in a combined 80 games with the Blackhawks and Oilers in 2025-26.

Murphy has recorded 177 points (48 goals, 129 assists) and 560 penalty minutes in 825 career games with the Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes (2013-17), Blackhawks (2017-26) and Oilers.

Murphy's deal comes one day after Edmonton signed forward Jason Dickinson to a five-year, $20 million contract.
