<p>The Janitor has cleaned up in the free-agent market, and is set to return to the Edmonton Oilers on a three-year contract extension.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The deal will see him earn $1.45-million per year, according to <em>Daily Faceoff&#8217;s</em> Frank Seravalli, who was first to report the signing.</p>

<p>The Janitor gets some term.</p>

<p>Janmark, 31, had a huge playoffs for the Oilers as a key part of their historic penalty kill. He wasn&#8217;t just killing off penalties, he was scoring while short-handed, too, burying two of his four goals in the playoffs while the Oilers were down a man. He added two goals at even-strength and four assists, giving him eight points in 25 playoff games.</p>
<p>He had a fairly pedestrian regular season for the Oilers, scoring just four goals and 12 points in 71 games, including many stretches where he couldn&#8217;t seem to find his game. But his ability to be strong defensively at even-strength and on the penalty kill, as well as a massive playoff, has brought him back for three more years.</p>
<p>According to <em>HockeyViz.com,</em> Janmark contributed at the level of a third-liner, providing offence at a six percent rate below league average, defence at an eight percent rate above league average, and penalty kill at a two percent rate above league average.</p>
<p>For Janmark, this marks the first time since he signed his two-year entry-level deal in 2015 that he received a multi-year deal. His sixth other deals were all one-year pacts.</p>
