Marc-Andre Fleury, Golden Knights Agree to 3-Year Contract Extension

After helping the Vegas Golden Knights reach the Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural season, goalie Marc-Andre Fleury on Friday signed a new contract with the team. 

Fleury announced through the team's official Twitter account that he signed a three-year extension:

Per NHL.com's Gary Lawless, Fleury will earn an average of $7 million per season on his new contract.

When the Golden Knights were filling out their roster during the NHL expansion draft in June 2017, Fleury was revealed as the franchise's 29th pick. He was left unprotected by the Pittsburgh Penguins, who drafted him No. 1 overall in 2003.

The 33-year-old Fleury went 29-13-4 in 46 starts for the Golden Knights and set career-best totals with a 2.24 goals-against average and .927 save percentage. 

The 1967-68 St. Louis Blues are the only team in NHL history besides Vegas to reach the Stanley Cup Final in its first season. The Golden Knights were defeated in the championship series by the Washington Capitals in five games.
