The Vancouver Canucks have signed forward Andrei Kuzmenko to a two-year contract extension with an average annual value of $5.5 million, the club announced Thursday.

The deal includes a 12-team no-trade clause, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Kuzmenko was a pending unrestricted free agent after signing a one-year contract with Vancouver this past July. He currently carries a $1.8-million AAV and a cap hit of $950,000, according to CapFriendly.

The Russian winger, who turns 27 on Feb. 4, has 21 goals and 22 assists in 47 games this season. He joined the Canucks after eight KHL campaigns.
