The Vancouver Canucks have signed goaltender Thatcher Demko to a five-year extension.
Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini confirmed the signing on Twitter.
No financial terms have been released.
Demko took over as the No. 1 goaltender for the Canucks this year after Jacob Markstrom went to the Calgary Flames in free agency.
The 25-year-old Demko is 12-12-1 with a 2.77 goals-against average and .917 save percentage this season.
Demko, a second-round pick (36th overall) by Vancouver in 2014, starred in relief of an injured Markstrom in last year’s second-round playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Demko allowed just one goal combined in Games 5 and 6 as the Canucks won two in a row to force a Game 7. Vegas prevailed 3-0 in the finale, scoring two empty-net goals.
The six-foot-four American has a career record of 30-25-4 with a 2.92 GAA and .911 save percentage.
