The Penguins have signed goaltender Matt Murray to a three-year contract extension that carries an average annual value of $3.75 million, the team announced Thursday morning.
Murray, 22, was set to become a restricted free agent at season’s end. He’ll count $628,333 against the salary cap in 2016-17 before the new deal kicks in.
Murray went 9-2-1 last year during the regular season with a 2.00 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage. He led the Penguins to their fourth Stanley Cup with 15 wins to go along with a 2.08 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage.
