The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Joakim Nygard to a one-year contract extension, the club announced Tuesday.
Nygard is out long term after undergoing surgery on Jan. 31 to repair a broken hand. He suffered the injury two days earlier against the Calgary Flames.
The 27-year-old has collected three goals and nine points in 33 games this season, his first in the NHL following seven campaigns with Farjestads in his home country of Sweden.
Edmonton signed Nygard to a one-year entry-level pact last May.
