The Edmonton Oilers organization gave a contract extension to the goaltender Olivier Rodrigue.

Rodrigue, who played with the Bakersfield Condors for the past four seasons, should remain with the organization for another year.

Goaltender Olivier Rodrigue agrees to a one-year, two-way extension deal with the Edmonton Oilers



Ken Holland and Olivier Rodrigue reached a deal for a one-year, two way, extension.


Read the Oilers' official statement here:

"EDMONTON, AB – The Edmonton Oilers have signed goaltender Olivier Rodrigue to a one-year, two-way contract extension through the 2024-25 season.

The 23-year-old has appeared in 32 games for the Bakersfield Condors this year, sporting a 17-10-4 record with a 2.72 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage. His 17 wins this season are a new career high.

Originally selected by the Oilers in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2018 NHL Draft, Rodrigue has appeared in 85 AHL games over four seasons with a 41-34-8 record, 2.83 GAA, and a .908 save percentage."


This season, the Oilers struggled a lot with their goalies, mainly with Jack Campbell, who got sent down to the AHL early in the season.

Now, they look for consistency and Rodrigue provides just that. However, unless there's an injury within the Oilers' duo, we probably won't see him in the NHL this season.

Stay tuned for more.
