The Calgary Flames have signed forward Martin Pospisil to a two-year contract extension with an average annual value of $1 million, the club announced Wednesday.

The 24-year-old Slovakian was drafted by the Flames in the fourth round (108th overall) at the 2018 NHL Draft.

“We have seen tremendous growth and maturity in Martin’s game since we drafted him in 2018,” said Flames general manager Craig Conroy in the team’s statement. “Martin has become a big part of our team and we are excited to have him under contract for the next two years.”

Currently in his fifth year with the organization, Pospisil made his NHL debut this season on Nov. 4 against the Seattle Kraken, scoring his first career goal.

With 34 NHL games now under his belt, Pospisil has four goals and seven assists for a total of 11 points. At the AHL level, he has three goals and three assists for the Calgary Wranglers this season.

Pospisil is currently on a one-year deal worth $775,000 in the NHL and $90,000 in the minors.
