The Colorado Avalanche have signed goaltender Hunter Miska to a two-year extension.

The 25-year-old Miska played in 26 games for the Colorado Eagles of the American Hockey League. He went 16-6-3 with a 2.48 goals-against average.

Miska joined the team during the playoffs against the Stars as a backup when the team was besieged by injuries in net.

``Hunter provides depth and upside at the goaltending position,'' Sakic said. ``We look forward to having him under contract for two more years as he continues to develop.''
