The Golden Knights signed right wing Keegan Kolesar to a three-year contract extension, the team announced Friday.
The deal carries an annual cap hit of $2.5 million.
Kolesar, 27, is having a career season. The Brandon, Manitoba, native has seven goals in 29 games this year, one off his career high.
Kolesar has appeared in 304 NHL games, all with the Knights. He was acquired in an expansion-draft trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2017.
Kolesar is the fourth pending free agent the Knights have signed to an extension this season. The team also reached deals with left wing Brett Howden and defensemen Shea Theodore and Brayden McNabb.
