Providence goaltender Nick Ellis has agreed to a two-year, entry-level contract with the Edmonton Oilers, reports Andy Strickland.
The 22-year-old junior posted a .936 save percentage through 36 games for Providence this season. It was the first season where he took the bulk of the starts for Providence.
He spent the last two seasons behind Flames prospect Jon Gillies and had to replace one of collegiate hockey’s best. He stepped up to the plate and now he’s stepping out.
