After acquiring Max Pacioretty Sunday, the Vegas Golden Knights moved quickly to keep him long term.
The team announced that the 29-year-old has signed a four-year extension that keeps him in Sin City through the 2022-23 season. The deal has an annual average value of $7 million.
Pacioretty is entering the final season of a six-year deal that will pay him $4.5 million in 2018-19.
The Golden Knights acquired the All-Star forward from the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday night for Tomas Tatar, prospect Nick Suzuki and a 2019 second-round pick.
