Anaheim Ducks Sign Goalie John Gibson To New 3-Year Deal
ANAHEIM (AP) — Goalie John Gibson has agreed to a three-year, $6.9 million contract extension with the Anaheim Ducks.
The Ducks announced the deal Monday.
The 22-year-old Gibson is considered one of the top young goalies in hockey, and he has won 16 NHL games over the past two seasons with the Ducks. He is competing with starter Frederik Andersen and newcomer Anton Khudobin for two roster spots in training camp.
Gibson is already under contract for the upcoming season. He will make $1.5 million in 2016-17, $2.1 million in 2017-18 and a hefty $3.3 million in 2018-19.
The Pittsburgh native made his first NHL start in April 2014, and he played four postseason games for Anaheim that spring. He went 13-8 in 23 starts for the Ducks last season, but struggled with injuries.
