Vancouver Canucks sign veteran goaltender Braden Holtby to two-year deal
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have made a change in net, signing goaltender Braden Holtby to a two-year deal worth US$8.6 million.
The move means Vancouver is moving on from star netminder Jacob Markstrom, who hit the free-agent market on Friday.
Holtby, 31, has spent his entire decade-long career with the Washington Capitals, winning a Stanley Cup with the club in 2017-18.
The native of Lloydminster, Sask., is a five-time all-star, and posted a .916 save percentage with a 2.53 goals-against average and 282-122-46 record during his time in Washington.
