The Vancouver Canucks on Monday signed Swedish goaltender Joacim Eriksson to a contract, terms of which have not been disclosed.

Eriksson, 23, is coming off a season in which he helped Skelleftea capture the 2012-13 Elitserien Championship. He posted a record of 21-9-0, a 1.67 goals-against average, a save percentage of .931 and five shutouts in 30 regular season games.
