When the Vegas Golden Knights selected Deryk Engelland in the expansion draft and signed him to a one-year deal, the longtime Las Vegas native set out to earn another contract.
Engelland got it Monday with a $1.5 million, one-year extension that serves as a reward for the veteran defenseman enjoying his best NHL season at age 35.
"That's a dream come true," Engelland said. "I'm getting a little older now and to be able to stay here at home and play another year, that's your whole goal going into the season and I couldn't be more happy.
