The Detroit Red Wings have signed defenseman Nick Jensen to a two-year contract extension.
Jensen, 26, has three goals and five assists in 27 games this season.
It took the 2009 draft pick a while to get to the NHL, but with Jonathan Ericsson done for the season and Brendan Smith possibly getting traded before Wednesday’s deadline, Jensen should receive plenty of ice time down the stretch.
Below are the financial terms of the deal:
Red Wings have signed defenseman Nick Jensen to two-year extension worth $800,000/$825,000. Would have been UFA this summer.
