The Flyers have signed goaltender Johan Backlund to a multiyear contract extension, general manager Paul Holmgren said Tuesday. Terms were not disclosed.
The 28-year-old native of Sweden appeared in one game with the Flyers last season, going 0-1 with a 3.00 goals-against average.
During the playoffs, Backlund served as a backup in 15 games, playing briefly in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Boston.
