Report: Oilers to announce 2-year extension for Davidson

The Edmonton Oilers are looking to reward defenseman Brandon Davidson for his strong play, one of the few bright spots on their season.

The club is expected to announce a two-year contract extension for Davidson, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

The 24-year-old has been solid on the team's back end with four goals and six assists, while leading Edmonton with a plus-6 rating in his first full season with the team.

Davidson has quickly climbed the ranks after finding himself with the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL just three seasons ago. He was slated to become a restricted free agent at season's end.
