The St. Louis blues have solidified their goaltending, signing Jake Allen to a six-year contract extension worth $17.4 million and inking Carter Hutton to a two-year contract worth $2.25 million, the team announced.
Allen was given the reins between the pipes after the Blues dealt Brian Elliott to the Calgary Flames at the draft.
The 25-year-old started 44 games for the Blues last season, posting a .920 save percentage, a 2.35 goals-against average, and six shutouts.
Hutton, the former Nashville Predators backup, appeared in 17 games last season, posting career highs with a .918 save percentage and a 2.33 goals-against average.
