Oilers sign backup goalie Calvin Pickard to 2-year contract extension

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — The Edmonton Oilers signed goalie Calvin Pickard to a two-year contract extension Friday with an annual average value of $1 million.

The 32-year-old Pickard was 12-7-1 with a 2.45 goals-against average and .909 save percentage in 23 games last season, including 20 starts.

He made three playoff appearances, including two starts and a win in the second round against Vancouver, as the Oilers advanced to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final before losing to the Florida Panthers.

From Moncton, New Brunswick, Pickard has a 47-61-11 record over nine NHL seasons with Colorado, Toronto, Philadelphia, Arizona, Detroit and Edmonton.
