The Colorado Avalanche have signed head coach Jared Bednar to a one-year contract extension.
Bednar was already signed through the 2018-19 season after signing a three-year contract back in August 2016, but it is now under contract until the end of the 2020 season.
After a terrible first year behind the bench for the Avalanche in which the team was only able to muster 48 points (22-56-4), Bednar led Colorado to the playoffs in 2017-18 after a three-year post-season drought by racking up 43 wins to lock up the Western Conference’s second wild-card spot with 95 points.
The Nashville Predators eliminated the Avalanche in the first-round of the playoffs on Sunday.
