The Carolina Hurricanes have agreed to terms with centre Logan Stankoven on an eight-year, $48 million contract extension, which will begin with the 2026-27 season.

“From the moment he arrived in Raleigh, it was clear to us that Logan was a Hurricane,” said Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky. “We’re thrilled that he agrees, and is committed to being a big part of this organization long term.”

Stankoven, 22, registered 14 goals and 24 assists for 38 points in 78 regular-season games with Carolina and Dallas in 2024-25, finishing the regular-season tied for second among NHL rookie skaters in game-winning goals with five.

Originally a second-round selection, 47th overall, at the 2021 NHL Draft, Stankoven was acquired by the Hurricanes along with first round picks in 2026 and 2028 and third-round selections in 2026 and 2027 from the Dallas Stars in exchange for forward Mikko Rantanen.
