The Boston Bruins and Jaroslav Halak agreed to a one-year contract extension with a cap hit of $2.25 million on Friday.
Halak, 34, posted an impressive 18-6-6 record in 31 games in 2019-20. The veteran now has another year of security for a team with Stanley Cup aspirations.
“Thank you to the Jacobs family, Cam [Neely}, Don [Sweeney], the coaching staff and my teammates for getting the deal done,” Halak said to the media on a conference call Saturday morning. “I’m super excited to be a part of this special group for another year.”
The deal benefits both parties.
