The Montreal Canadiens signed Antti Niemi to a one-year contract extension. The veteran goaltender will earn $950,000 with the Habs. Niemi will be hoping for more stability after a tumultuous 2017-18 campaign.
The native of Finland was bought out a year ago by the Dallas Stars. He signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins last summer. Things did not go well for him to begin the season, and it appeared his career might have ended.
Niemi played just three games with the two-time-defending Champions, but they did not go well.
