EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers signed defenceman Connor Murphy to a five-year contract extension on Monday.
Murphy’s deal carries an average annual value of US$4.1 million. The veteran joined Edmonton from the Chicago Blackhawks at last season’s trade deadline and was set to become an unrestricted free agent in July.
The six-foot-four, 212-pound blueliner from Boston had one goal and three assists in 20 regular-season games with the Oilers before adding two goals and an assist in six playoff appearances.
Murphy led Edmonton defencemen with 15 blocked shots during the post-season.
