PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin has turned his steady play for the Stanley Cup champions into a new contract.
Dumoulin and the team agreed to a six-year deal Monday that will run through the 2022-23 season and will pay him an average of $4.1 million per year.
The 25-year-old Dumoulin had three goals and 11 assists during Pittsburgh’s run to the Cup this spring and hasn’t missed a playoff game during the team’s sprint to back-to-back titles.
Dumoulin averaged a team-high 21:59 of ice time this postseason, and his plus-9 rating was best among Penguins defensemen.
Dumoulin was forced to take on a larger roll this spring after injuries forced Kris Letang to miss the playoffs.
