The St. Louis Blues and Joel Edmundson have saved themselves from the uneasiness of arbitration.

St. Louis announced that the two sides agreed to a one-year, $3-million contract ahead of Wednesday's scheduled hearing.

The 25-year-old is coming off his third season with the Blues that saw him post career highs in both goals (seven) and points (17).

Edmundson ranked third on the team in ice time this past season, behind only Alex Pietrangelo and Colton Parayko, averaging 20:44 a night, while also leading all Blues skaters in blocked shots per game.
