The Los Angeles Kings announced yesterday that they’ve signed goaltender Cal Petersen to a three-year contract extension, worth $5 million. The extension will kick in for the 2022-23 season, as Petersen still has one year remaining on his current contract.
CAL P3TER5ON!!!
The LA Kings have signed goaltender @CalPetersen40 to a three-year contract.
Petersen is 27 years old and has played NHL 54 games over the last three seasons, all coming with the Kings. This past season, Petersen posted a .911 save percentage and 2.89 goals against average in 35 games.
While ideally the contract would’ve been a year or two longer and the Kings may have slightly overpaid for a three-year deal, it’s great to see Petersen locked up a year before his contract expires. He’s expected to be the Kings’ long-term starter and this deal shows the organization’s trust in him.
