Flames sign Pospisil to 2-year extension

The Calgary Flames inked forward Martin Pospisil to a two-year contract extension carrying an average annual value of $1 million, the club announced Wednesday.

Pospisil was a pending restricted free agent with arbitration rights, according to CapFriendly. He's playing on the one-year, $775,000 pact he signed with the Flames last July.

The 24-year rookie has four goals and seven assists in 34 games with the Flames this season. Pospisil was recently bumped up to Calgary's second line alongside Nazem Kadri and Connor Zary. He made his NHL debut in November after playing parts of five campaigns in the AHL.

Pospisil was ejected from a win over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night for cross-checking Brad Marchand in the face. He avoided supplementary discipline for the incident.

Calgary drafted him 105th overall in 2018.
