Gavrikov agreed to a two-year, $11.75 million contract extension with the Kings on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Gavrikov was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer after completing his three-year, $8.4 million deal. He had six goals, 19 points, 38 PIM, 74 hits and 115 blocks in 72 contests split between the Blue Jackets and the Kings in 2022-23. The Kings will likely deploy Gavrikov in a top-four capacity next season.
