Kings sign Copley to 1-year, $1.5M extension

The Los Angeles Kings signed goaltender Pheonix Copley to a one-year, $1.5-million extension Friday, the team announced.

Copley has emerged as the Kings' most reliable netminder this season, recording a 15-3-1 record with an .897 save percentage and a 2.92 goals against average.

The 31-year-old journeyman has played 51 career NHL games across five seasons, posting an .899 save percentage. In 237 career AHL games, his save percentage is .911.

With Jonathan Quick's eight-year, $58-million contract set to expire after this season, Copley and Cal Petersen - who's currently playing in the AHL in the first season of a three-year, $15-million deal - are Los Angeles' only goalies signed for 2023-24.
