EDMONTON – The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Vasily Podkolzin to a three-year contract extension, the NHL club announced Tuesday.
The deal is worth US$2.95 million annually.
The six-foot-one, 190-pound Podkolzin had eight goals and 16 assists in 82 regular-season games with Edmonton. He added three goals and seven assists in 22 playoff games.
Edmonton acquired the 24-year-old from Moscow in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks last August. He had a team-high 211 hits last season while averaging a career-high 13 minutes 13 seconds of ice time per game.
The Canucks selected Podkolzin with the 10th pick of the 2019 NFL draft.
He appeared in 219 regular-season games with Vancouver, registering 26 goals and 33 assists with 91 penalty minutes.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 23, 2025.
