NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Nashville Predators signed goaltender Pekka Rinne to a two-year contract extension worth $10 million, keeping the Vezina Trophy winner under contract through 2020-21.
General manager David Poile announced the extension Saturday, on Rinne's 36th birthday, a couple of hours before the Predators were set to host the Boston Bruins. The Vezina Trophy winner in June, in his fourth time as a finalist, will earn $6 million in 2019-20 and $4 million in 2020-21.
Poile said Rinne has made the most impact on and off the ice for the Predators as one of the NHL's best goaltenders.
