Red Wings GM Ken Holland signs 2-year extension

Ken Holland isn't going anywhere.

The Detroit Red Wings have inked their longtime general manager to a two-year contract extension, the club announced Saturday.

Holland's current deal expires at season's end.

Under his stewardship, Detroit made the playoffs in 18 consecutive seasons (part of their streak of 25 straight postseason berths) and won the Stanley Cup three times (part of their run of four championships between 1997 and 2008).

The Red Wings, however, have missed the playoffs in both of the last two campaigns.

Holland took over as GM in July 1997 after serving as Detroit's assistant GM for three years. He started out in the organization as a scout and has spent 35 years with the team.
