Broberg Signs $48M Extension, Then Exits Game with Upper-Body Injury

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg signed a six-year, $48 million contract extension ($8M AAV) on Saturday, avoiding restricted free agency. The 24-year-old, recently named to Sweden's Winter Olympics team, later suffered an upper-body injury after a hit by Mark Stone in the first period against the Golden Knights, ruling him out of the game. Broberg played 55 seconds, recording an assist. This season, he has 2 goals and 14 points in 45 appearances, averaging a career-high 23:18 time on ice.
