The Edmonton Oilers signed KHL goaltender Mikko Koskinen to a one-year contract on Tuesday, the team announced.

The 29-year-old is coming off his fourth season with SKA St. Petersbrug where he put up a monstrous 1.57 GAA and a .937 save percentage in 29 games.

Koskinen also represented Finland at the Olympics where he once again was stellar, finishing with a 1.62 GAA and a .932 save percentage en route to an eighth-place finish.

He was originally drafted 31st overall by the New York Islanders in 2009, where he played just four career games.
