Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh signed a three-year contract extension worth $12.3 million on Thursday.
McDonagh, 36, has six points (three goals, three assists) in 15 games this season while playing the final campaign of a seven-year contract worth $47.25 million. He is currently on injured reserve.
McDonagh is one season away from leading the NHL with a plus-43 rating.
“Mac is one of a kind,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said Thursday. “If guys like Ryan McDonagh can’t get into the Hall of Fame, I don’t know why we would have a Hall of Fame. That’s basically what I think.”
A two-time Stanley Cup champion with Tampa Bay in 2020 and 2021, McDonagh totaled 426 points (83 goals, 343 assists) with an average of 22:32 of ice time in 1,025 career games with the New York Rangers, Lightning and Nashville Predators.
McDonagh was selected by the Canadiens with the 12th overall pick in the 2007 NHL Draft before being traded to the Rangers on June 30, 2009, as part of a six-player deal that sent Scott Gomez to Montreal.
