Kings sign Cal Petersen to 3-year extension

The Los Angeles Kings have extended their goalie of the future.

Cal Petersen and the club agreed to a three-year contract with an average annual value of $858,333, the team announced Tuesday.

It's a two-way pact in the first year before becoming a one-way deal in the final two seasons.

Petersen impressed in his first NHL action this past campaign, posting a .924 save percentage in 11 games. The 24-year-old spent the last two seasons primarily with the Kings' AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign.

He excelled during his three years at Notre Dame before signing with Los Angeles in the summer of 2017.

The Buffalo Sabres drafted Petersen in the fifth round of the 2013 draft but were unable to sign him.
