{coyotes} Coyotes sign newly-acquired goalie Darcy Kuemper to two-year deal

 

The Arizona Coyotes have signed goaltender Darcy Kuemper to a two-year contract, the team announced on Thursday.

Arizona acquired Kuemper Wednesday night in a trade with the Los Angeles Kings.

The new deal is worth $3.7 million, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

"We are very pleased to sign Darcy to a two-year contract extension," general manager John Chayka said in a team statement. "You need two goalies to win in this league. Antti [Raanta] is one and now we feel confident that we've got the second one in Darcy. We are very happy with our depth at the position in the NHL and AHL."

Kuemper, 27, posted a 10-1-3 record with a 2.10 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage with three shutouts in 19 games for the Kings this season.

Drafted by the Minnesota Wild in the sixth round (161st overall) in the 2009 NHL Draft, the Saskatoon native has a career record of 51-35-17 with a 2.52 goals-against average and .913 save percentage in 104 games with the Kings and Wild.
