The Anaheim Ducks signed defenceman Christian Djoos to a one-year contract extension through the 2020-21 NHL season on Wednesday. The deal is worth $1 million.
Djoos had one goal and two assists in nine games with the Ducks after they acquired him from the Washington Capitals on Feb. 24 in a trade for forward Daniel Sprong.
Djoos is a former seventh-round draft pick who played a steady role during the Capitals’ run to the Stanley Cup title as a rookie in the 2017-18 season. He scored 14 points in 63 games as a rookie before appearing in 22 playoff games on the way to the Cup.
He didn’t make the Caps’ roster out of training camp this season, and he appeared in just two games with Washington before being traded.
