(Edmonton, AB) - The Edmonton Oilers have signed free agent goaltender Jack Campbell to a 5-year contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $5.00 million.

Appearing in a career-high 49 games for the Toronto Maple Leafs last season, Campbell, 30, enjoyed a 31-9-6 record with 47 starts, a .914 save percentage and a GAA of 2.64.

The Port Huron, Michigan native who measures in at 6’3” and 207-pounds played parts of three seasons in Toronto appearing in 77 games (75 starts, 51-14-9, .916, 2.50) after being acquired from the Los Angeles Kings in February, 2020.
