RALEIGH, N.C. — The Carolina Hurricanes have signed defenseman Jalen Chatfield to a three-year, $9 million extension. The move means Carolina retains a valuable part of what has been a deep position group. The team announced the deal Friday, with interim general manager Eric Tulsky pointing to Chatfield's speed and work ethic making him "an integral part" of the blue-liners. The 28-year-old Chatfield had career highs of eight goals and 14 assists for Carolina last season. He joined Dmitry Orlov to form a reliable third-pairing group and was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
