Goaltender Oscar Dansk signed a one-year contract extension with the Golden Knights, the team announced Thursday on its “Knight Report” livestream.

The two-way deal has a $700,000 average annual value at the NHL level.

Dansk, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2019-20 season, went 18-12-4-3 with a 2.57 goals-against average and .908 save percentage for the Chicago Wolves in the American Hockey League.

He appeared in one game for the Knights, stopping 31 of 37 shots in a 6-2 loss at Philadelphia on Oct. 21.
