Kings ink Star Defenseman Gavrikov to Two-Year Deal

The Los Angeles Kings signed Vladislav Gavrikov to a two-year contract extension.
Gavrikov's contract has an average annual value of $5.875 million through the 2024-25 season.
Gavrikov had 19 points in 72 games between the Kings and the Columbus Blue Jackets last season.
The Kings acquired Gavrikov in a trade-deadline deal with the Blue Jackets.
The two-year term will bridge Gavrikov though the NHL's currently stagnant salary cap.
