Blues Sign Colten Ellis To Two-Way Extension

June 11, 2024 at 10:12 am CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

The Blues have signed goaltender Colten Ellis to a one-year, two-way extension, per a team announcement. The deal carries a cap hit and NHL salary of $775K and an AHL salary of $85K.

Ellis, 23, is the second Blues minor-leaguer to ink extensions in the past few days. Winger Mathias Laferrière signed a similar deal to remain in the St. Louis organization on Sunday.

Like Laferriere, Ellis was slated to be a restricted free agent this summer following the completion of his entry-level contract. The Blues’ 2019 third-round choice is coming off his third professional season, and while he’s failed to earn a full-time job with AHL Springfield to date, it seems to be around the corner.

Ellis played a career-high 16 AHL contests this year, leading Springfield goalies with a 2.89 GAA and .924 SV% behind a defensively-challenged club. Add on a .923 SV% in 21 appearances with ECHL Orlando, and he’s put together a solid case for full-time backup duties with the Blues’ top affiliate next season.

The Nova Scotia native still has some time to develop and is one of the more under-the-radar goalie prospects in the league. He went on to have an illustrious junior career after being drafted by St. Louis, culminating in a lights-out 2020-21 campaign that saw him post a remarkable 23-1-0 record, seven shutouts and a .926 SV% in 24 games with the QMJHL’s Charlottetown Islanders. He led the league in both GAA and SV% during the COVID-shortened season and was named to the year-end First All-Star Team.

Ellis will be slated for restricted free agency again next summer when his extension expires. He’ll likely split goaltending duties in Springfield next season with fellow 2019 pick Vadim Zherenko.
