Forward Jordan Staal and the Carolina Hurricanes are closing in on a four-year contract extension, multiple media outlets reported Saturday.
The deal carries an average annual value of $2.9 million, according to TSN.
Staal, 34, racked up 34 points (17 goals, 17 assists) in 81 games last season, his 11th in Carolina. As the team’s captain, Staal helped the Hurricanes make it to the Eastern Conference finals, where they lost to the Florida Panthers in four games.
In 1173 career games, Staal has amassed 645 points (275 goals, 370 assists) during his time with the Pittsburgh Penguins (2006-07 to 2011-12) and Hurricanes (2012-13 to 2022-23). He was the No. 2 overall pick by Pittsburgh in the 2006 draft.
