The Vegas Golden Knights announced Wednesday that they have signed center William Karlsson to a two-year, $13.5 million contract extension. The new deal begins after the conclusion of his current eight-year, $47.2 million contract, which expires at the end of this season. Karlsson, 33, logged roughly 17 and a half minutes centering Vegas' second line during Tuesday's 5-2 season-opening win against the Chicago Blackhawks.
