The Edmonton Oilers agreed to terms with KHL goaltender Mikko Koskinen on a one-year contract Tuesday, the team announced.
The 29-year-old is coming off his fourth season with SKA St. Petersbrug where he put up a monstrous 1.57 GAA and a .937 save percentage in 29 games.
The deal's worth $2 million plus a $500,000 signing bonus, according to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun, and will be made official on July 1.
Koskinen also represented Finland at the Olympics where he once again was stellar, finishing with a 1.62 GAA and a .932 save percentage en route to an eighth-place finish.
He was originally drafted 31st overall by the New York Islanders in 2009, where he played just four career games.
