Dallas Stars defenseman Nils Lundkvist signed a two-year, $3.5 million contract extension, the team announced Friday.
The deal runs through 2027-28 and adds to a big week for the 25-year-old Swede, who announced the birth of his first child -- a son -- on Tuesday and whose team opens the playoffs on Saturday at home against the Minnesota Wild.
'We're excited to lock up Nils for two more years,' general manager Jim Nill said in a news release. 'He is a highly skilled defenseman with excellent mobility and vision. His ability to move the puck and create offense makes him a valuable piece for our team moving forward.'
Lundkvist recorded 11 points (three goals, eight assists) and a plus-12 rating in 52 games this season. He has 55 points (12 goals, 43 assists) in 235 career games with the New York Rangers (2021-22) and Stars.
The Rangers selected him in the first round of the 2018 NHL Draft.
