Reports: Coyotes reward Raanta with 3-year extension
Antti Raanta has turned a career year with the Arizona Coyotes into a lucrative contract extension.
The fifth-year goalie, who made $1 million this season, is getting a three-year deal at approximately $4 million per year, according to multiple reports.
Raanta had never made more than 26 starts in a season before arriving in Arizona. He has started 45 games this season, posting a 21-16-6 record and allowing just 2.24 goals per game.
Raanta, 28, previously spent two seasons each with the Chicago Blackhawks and the New York Rangers.
In 123 career starts, Raanta is 68-39-15. He was due to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.
The Coyotes (29-40-12, 70 points) have just one regular-season game left and are eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
