The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Vasily Podkolzin to a three-year contract extension, the NHL club announced Tuesday.
The deal is worth US$2.95 million annually.
The six-foot-one, 190-pound Podkolzin had eight goals and 16 assists in 82 regular-season games with Edmonton. He added three goals and seven assists in 22 playoff games.
Podkolzin shares his excitement of staying an Oiler.
Edmonton acquired the 24 year old from Moscow in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks last August. He had a team-high 211 hits last season while averaging a career-high 13 minutes 13 seconds of ice time per game.
