Flyers Sign Goaltender Backlund to Two-Year Extension

The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that they have signed goaltender Johan Backlund to a two-year contract extension. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He would have been an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Backlund appeared in one game with the Flyers last season, going 0-1-0, with a 3.00 GAA, and a .917 save percentage. He also appeared in 41 games with Adirondack of the AHL, posting a 21-17-2 record, two shutouts, a 2.79 GAA, and a .906 save percentage. Not a bad signing for the Flyers, as Backlund will likely serve as a backup goaltender for the Flyers next season. He's got good size and positioning, which will make him a good candidate for the backup role. Although, he will have to compete for that position at training camp in the fall with Brian Boucher, who is also under contract with the Flyers for next season.
