ATLANTA -- Atlanta Thrashers goaltender Byron Dafoe exercised the option in his contract Thursday and will stay with the team next season.
After signing with the Thrashers as a free agent in November, injuries limited Dafoe to only 17 games. He had a 5-11-1 record and a 4.36 goals-against average.
"Byron is an accomplished goaltender and we are happy that he has decided to remain in the organization," Thrashers general manager Don Waddell said. "He will strengthen our group of goaltenders and help us be more successful."
Dafoe has a 167-159-55 record and 2.66 GAA in 397 career games in 11 seasons with the Washington Capitals, Los Angeles Kings, Boston Bruins and the Thrashers.
