(Sports Network) - The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed goaltender Mathieu Garon to a two-year contract.

Financial terms were not disclosed, but TSN Canada reports the deal is worth a total of $2.4 million.

"One of our priorities this off-season was to sign an experienced goaltender to team with Steve Mason, and by adding Mathieu Garon we have done that," team general manager Scott Howson said. "Mathieu ha been a successful goaltender in this league, and we think he will be an important addition to our organization."

Garon played in 19 games with the Oilers and Penguins last season and went 8-9-0 with a 3.12 goals against average and a .894 save percentage.

The 31-year-old has a career record of 94-83-3 over 204 games -- 186 starts -- with Montreal, Los Angeles, Edmonton and Pittsburgh.
