The goalie was 27-20-8 with five shutouts in 55 games in 2018-19, his first full season with the Coyotes. He had NHL career highs in wins, starts and shutouts with a 2.33 goals-against average and NHL career-best .925 save percentage. Arizona acquired him in a trade with the Los Angeles Kings for center Tobias Rieder and goalie Scott Wedgewood on Feb. 21, 2018.
Keumper will play the final season of a two-year contract he signed with the Coyotes on Feb. 21, 2018, when he was traded to Arizona by the Los Angeles Kings.
"We are extremely pleased to sign Darcy to a two-year extension," Arizona general manager John Chayka said. "Darcy had an incredible season last year and established himself as one of the NHL's best goaltenders. With Darcy and Antti [Raanta], we are confident that we have one of the best goaltending tandems in the League."
