The Washington Capitals have announced they have re-signed Canadian goaltender Garin Bjorklund to a new contract.
The agreement is a one-year, two-way contract carrying an average annual value (AAV) of $775,000.
The 23-year-old currently plays for the South Carolina Stingrays in the ECHL. During the regular season, he recorded a 2.02 goals-against average (GAA) over 29 games, and his .927 save percentage (SV%) ranked third among goalies in the league.
