“Petr is a strong goaltender who continues to display the athleticism and calming style of play that has made him so successful in this league,” general manager Kyle Davidson said in a statement. “He’s had an immense impact within our group, and we’re excited to have Petr back.”
The Hawks’ primary goaltender, Mrázek has a 12-17-1 record this season with a 3.01 goals-against average and .907 save percentage.
His signing further fills out the roster the Hawks are building around Connor Bedard over the next two seasons. Veteran forwards Nick Foligno and Jason Dickinson also signed two-year extensions this month.
Veteran defensemen Seth Jones and Connor Murphy, veteran forwards Taylor Hall and Andreas Athanasiou (both currently on injured reserve) and rookies Bedard and Kevin Korchinski are the other players signed beyond this season.
