Eddie Lack: Agrees to two-year extension with Carolina

Lack and the Hurricanes have agreed on a two-year contract extension that will pay the goalie $2.5 million next season and $3 million in 2017-18, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Analysis:

Lack landed in Carolina this past summer via a trade with Vancouver that involved a pair of draft picks. Cam Ward, the team's veteran goalie, is in the final year of a huge contract worth $6.8 million, so there is reason to believe that Lack will often give way to Ward this season. Of course, Lack could find his way into more regular-season action if he can pick up where he left off with Vancouver last season, when he posted an 18-13-4 record with a 2.45 GAA and .921 save percentage.
