27-year-old goaltender Jack Campbell has scored a two-year contract extension with the LA Kings. It carries an AAV of 1.65 million and will not kick in until the start of the 2020-2021 season. It is a sizable raise from his current salary of $675,000. Campbell would have been an unrestricted free agent on July 1st of 2020.
Campbell played 31 games for the Kings last season, the most by far in his NHL career. Before last season, he had a total of just seven career games. While he carried a losing record of 10-14-1, his stats were much better than his record would suggest. He managed a goals against average of 2.30 and a save percentage of .928.
The Kings currently have $6.7 million in salary cap space with no restricted free agents needing to be signed.
