Backup goaltender Calvin Pickard has re-signed with Edmonton on a two-year, $2 million extension, the team announced on Friday.
The deal comes in with a $1 million average annual value.
Pickard took over the backup job this season going a 12-7-1 record in 23 games played with a 2.45 goals against average and a .909 save percentage.
He also started two games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the team looking to give Stuart Skinner a rest, going 1-1 with a 2.21 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage.
Edmonton signed Pickard to a two-year deal in 2022 and he spent his first year in the AHL with the Bakersfield Condors going 23-12-2 with a 2.70 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage.
