The Dallas Stars have agreed to terms on an eight-year, $66 million contract extension that carries an $8.25 million average annual value.
“Jake has established himself as one of the elite goaltenders in the NHL,” Stars GM Jim Nill said. “His unique blend of poise, size, athleticism, and mental toughness has helped our team reach new heights since he’s taken over the net. He is an integral part of our core that will allow us to contend for the Stanley Cup this season, but also for many years to come.
“Off the ice, Jake is a leader in our team’s community efforts and is always willing to give his time and resources. I’m pleased that Jake and his wife Kennedi will be part of our family for many years to come.”
