Giguere, 35, compiled a 15-11-3 mark with a 2.27 goals-against average and .919 save percentage over 32 games last season. He inked a two-deal in 2011 and under the extension will be with the team through the 2013-14 campaign. "J.S. provided leadership, stability and a veteran presence to our team last season," Avalanche General Manager Greg Sherman said. "He helped solidify our goaltending position and we are pleased to have J.S. under contract for the next two seasons. Giguere, who won a Stanley Cup with Anaheim in 2007, has 246 career wins, tied for 46th place on the NHL's all-time list.
