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

Steve Yzerman continues to keep Tampa Bay intact.

The Lightning are reportedly close to signing forward Alex Killorn to a seven-year, $31.15-million contract extension, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

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.
