The New York Rangers have agreed to terms with goaltender Antti Raanta, the club announced Monday.

The deal is worth $2 million over two years, according to General Fanager.

Raanta was dealt to Broadway from Chicago last offseason, and the 26-year-old started 25 games for the Rangers this season, posting a record of 18-11-6, with a 2.24 goals against average and .919 save percentage.

He also appeared in three playoff games in relief of Henrik Lundqvist.

The deal is the start of a busy summer for general manager Jeff Gorton, with key decisions to make surrounding impending free agents Keith Yandle, Chris Kreider and Eric Staal, among others.
