The San Jose Sharks signed unrestricted free agent defenseman Dmitry Orlov to a two-year, $13 million contract on Thursday.

Orlov, who turns 34 on July 23, recorded 28 points (six goals, 22 assists), a plus-16 rating and averaged exactly 20 minutes of ice time in 76 games with the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2024-25 season. He was playing on the final season of a two-year, $15.5 million contract.

“Dmitry is a strong, two-way defenseman who brings physicality and versatility on the ice,” Sharks general manager Mike Grier said. “He has a wealth of NHL experience, both in the regular season and playoffs, and his Stanley Cup championship pedigree is a valuable addition to our team. We are happy to have him.”

A Stanley Cup champion with Washington, Orlov has totaled 327 points (76 goals, 251 assists) in 867 career games with the Capitals, Boston Bruins and Hurricanes. He was selected by Washington in the second round of the 2009 NHL Draft.
