Mattias Janmark is staying put.
The Oilers re-signed the veteran forward with a three-year contract carrying an annual cap hit of $1.45 million, the team announced.
Janmark only recorded four goals and eight assists in 71 regular-season games, but he proved to be a valuable commodity in the postseason. "The Janitor" was a crucial part of the Oilers' successful penalty kill, notching a pair of shorthanded goals in the playoffs. He recorded four points in the Stanley Cup Final.
The 31-year-old projects to fill a bottom-six role in Edmonton once again next season.
