Blues sign Jaskin to 2-year extension

The St. Louis Blues signed forward Dmitrij Jaskin to a two-year contract extension Thursday.

The deal will carry an average annual value of $1 million, ESPN's Craig Custance reports.

"It's great to be part of a group like this," Jaskin said in a statement. "It's great to have the opportunity to be part of this team. To get the Conference Final, it's a big motivation. You want to get there again and in (these) two years, I hope we'll get even further. I'm really excited for next season."

Jaskin recorded 13 points in 65 games this season, adding a goal and an assist in six playoff contests.

The 23-year-old was a pending restricted free agent.

He was named to the Czech Republic's World Cup of Hockey roster last month.
