Golden Knights sign Engelland to 1-year, $1.5M extension

The Vegas Golden Knights signed defenseman Deryk Engelland to a one-year contract extension worth $1.5 million.

Engelland is currently making $1 million and was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

The 35-year-old has recorded 13 points (three goals, 13 assists), 16 penalty minutes, and 83 blocked shots in 41 games this season for the Golden Knights. Engelland is averaging 19:38 of ice time per game, fourth among Vegas defenders.

The Golden Knights still have four defensemen in need of new deals at season's end: Luca Sbisa and Clayton Stoner will both be unrestricted free agents, while Jon Merrill and Colin Miller will fall into the restricted category.
