Flyers ink Biron to two-year deal

By Tim McManus

The Flyers officially signed Martin Biron to a two-year contract extension, the terms of which were not released.

"We are extremely pleased to get this done," said General Manager Paul Holmgren. "Marty has come in and played well and we look for him to be a solid goaltender for us for the next two years."

The 29-year-old Biron has posted a 16-9-2 record with a 3.01 goals-against average and .904 save percentage in 29 games this season between the Buffalo Sabres and the Flyers.

Over parts of seven NHL seasons with Buffalo (1995-96 and 1998-99 to 2006-07) and the Flyers (2006-07), Biron has compiled a 138-120-30 record, 2.54 GAA, .910 save percentage and 18 shutouts in 310 career regular season games.
