Martin Hanzal Signs Five-Year Extension With Coyotes

“We are very pleased to sign Martin to a five-year contract extension,” said Coyotes general manager Don Maloney. “Martin is a big, strong, skilled center and a core member of our team. He contributes at both ends of the ice and we are confident he will continue to improve to become one of the NHL’s best two- way centers.”

The 24-year-old native of the Czech Republic played in a career-low 61 games last season, but managed a career-high 16 goals with 26 points.
