The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky to a new two-year deal, the team announced on Monday. He will be paid $6 million a year, according to reports.

The Russian goaltender was traded to Columbus by the Flyers last summer after playing in 83 games over two seasons with Philadelphia.
