Jean-Sebastien Giguere agreed to a one-year extension with the Avalanche that will cover the 2013-14 season. Capgeek says the deal is worth $1.5 million, which would be a $250,000 raise over what he'll make this coming season. In 32 games last year, Giguere had a 15-11-3 record with a 2.28 goals-against average and .919 save percentage. The 35-year-old is a solid backup behind youngster Semyon Varlamov. "J.S. provided leadership, stability and a veteran presence to our team last season," said Avs general manager and executive vice president Greg Sherman. "He helped solidify our goaltending position and we are pleased to have J.S. under contract for the next two seasons."
