The Pittsburgh Penguins signed defenseman Marcus Pettersson to a five-year contract extension with an average annual value of $4,025,175, the club announced Tuesday.
Pettersson was a pending restricted free agent making $874,125 on the one-year pact he agreed to in September.
The 23-year-old has collected 15 points in 50 games while averaging 19:22 in ice time this season. He's in his second campaign with the Penguins, who acquired him in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks in December 2018.
Anaheim selected Pettersson 38th overall in 2014.
