The Czech defenseman, who was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks at the trade deadline, had a breakout postseason with his new club, finishing the playoffs with five points and logging the fourth-most ice time among Washington defensemen.

Kempny was previously on a one-year contract that carried a $900,000 cap hit. The 27-year-old entered the NHL in 2016 as an undrafted free agent after signing with the Blackhawks.
