Coach Wayne Gretzky considers the 34-year-old Nolan one of the league's premier power forwards.
"His size, strength, goal-scoring ability and leadership will be a big asset to our team," Gretzky said.
Nolan, an unrestricted free agent, last played in 2003-04 for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has 349 goals and 386 assists in 915 career games with Quebec, Colorado, San Jose and Toronto.
Nolan has recovered from his injury, general manager Michael Barnett said.
"He's fit, focused and anxious to get back battling on NHL ice," he said.
