SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The San Jose Sharks signed goalie Alex Nedeljkovic to a two-year, $6 million contract extension before the trade deadline on Friday.
The 30-year-old Nedeljkovic was a pending free agent and could have been dealt away but now will remain in San Jose to team with Yaroslav Askarov in net for the near future.
Nedeljkovic has an 11-9-2 record with a 2.83 goals against average and .902 save percentage in 26 games in his first season with the Sharks. He has won six of his last seven starts with a .935 save percentage and 1.99 goals allowed per game in those outings.
Nedeljkovic is in his ninth season in the NHL and has an 85-69-29 career record with a 2.97 goals against average and .903 save percentage with Carolina, Detroit, Pittsburgh and San Jose.
Nedeljkovic is the second player the Sharks signed to an extension this week leading up to the trade deadline. San Jose signed forward Kiefer Sherwood to a five-year, $28.75 million extension on Wednesday, six weeks after acquiring him in a trade from Vancouver.
The Sharks have won three straight games and entered the day three points out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

LIMA, Peru (AP) — Conservative politician Keiko Fujimori on Friday was declared the winner of the presidential runoff election in Peru, which was dominated by people’s concerns over surging crime.
Fujimori, 51, the daughter of a disgraced former president, was running for the presidency for the fourth time. She will be Peru’s ninth president in 10 years when she takes office later this month.
The election win was certified Friday by the country's top election authority. Figures released by election officials earlier in the week showed that with 100% of ballots tallied, Fujimori received 9,223,000 votes, or 50.135% of the total, while nationalist congressman Roberto Sánchez earned over 9,173,000 votes, or 49.865%.
Fujimori and Sánchez made it to the June 7 runoff election after defeating 33 other candidates in an April vote.
Voters were primarily concerned with increasing levels of crime, especially extortion by violent organized crime gangs, and Fujimori pledged to combat crime with an iron fist.
The winner is the daughter of the late Alberto Fujimori, the former president whose government in the 1990s defeated the Shining Path extremist rebel group but also took an authoritarian turn. He was convicted in 2009 of human rights abuses in the fight against the rebels, and later of corruption charges.
