The St. Louis Blues shored up their goaltending Friday, signing Jake Allen to a four-year, $17.4 million contract extension (an average annual value of $4.35 million) and Carter Hutton to a two-year, $2.25 million contract (an average annual value of $1.125 million).
Allen, who will turn 26 on Aug. 7, had one year remaining on a two-year, $4.7 million contract he signed before last season. Allen set career highs in games (47), wins (26) and save percentage (.920) in 2015-16, helping St. Louis reach the Western Conference Final before losing to the San Jose Sharks in six games.
