Penguins sign goaltender Casey DeSmith to multi-year extension

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced on Tuesday that they've agreed to terms on a two-year contract worth $3.6 million ($1.8 million AAV) with goaltender Casey DeSmith.

DeSmith, 30, was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 13th. The Rochester (New Hampshire) native signed with the Penguins as a free agent back in 2017 and has been with them ever since.

In 26 games this season, DeSmith posted a record of 11-6-5 with a 2.79 GAA, a .914 save percentage and three shutouts. He also appeared in one game during the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the New York Rangers, but left with a core muscle injury in the second overtime period of Game 1. He missed the remainder of the series but will be good to go for training camp in September.

Welcome back, Casey!
