Killorn reaches 7-year, $31.15M extension with Lightning

Steve Yzerman continues to keep Tampa Bay intact.

The Lightning have signed forward Alex Killorn to a seven-year, $31.15-million contract extension, the team announced Sunday.

Killorn was one of the key restricted free agents for Tampa Bay this season, along with forwards Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov.

In a busy offseason, Yzerman has also managed to retain captain Steven Stamkos, as well as provide defensive-anchor Victor Hedman with a long-term extension.

Killorn, 26, recorded 14 goals and 26 assists in 81 games last season, and added 13 points in 17 playoff contests for the Lightning.
