The Kraken have signed Chris Driedger to a three-year, $10.5 million contract.

Driedger's selection in the Expansion Draft was the worst kept secret of the process. The 27-year-old has been outstanding over the last two seasons, leading the NHL in GAA (2.07) and SV% (.931) while going 21-8-4 in 34 starts. Driedger will get a shot to be a No.1 for the first time in his career with Vitek Vanecek serving as his backup.

Driedger is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

Driedger was not on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and is expected to miss a few days with a minor lower-body injury. This isn't a huge deal for the Panthers, who have Sergei Bobrovsky playing well and Spencer Knight was terrific in his NHL debut on Tuesday.
