Ducks' Frank Vatrano Signs $18M Extension, Leads Win Over Lightning

The veteran winger celebrated a three-year contract extension with two goals and an assist in Anaheim's 4-1 victory over Tampa Bay.

Frank Vatrano signed a three-year, $18 million contract extension with the Anaheim Ducks, featuring $9 million in deferred payments starting in 2035.
The 30-year-old winger marked the occasion with a standout performance, contributing two goals and an assist in a 4-1 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Ducks have won four of their last five games, with key contributions from Troy Terry, who scored his fifth goal in six games, and goaltender John Gibson, who made 36 saves for his 200th NHL win.
Anaheim structured Vatrano's contract to lower his salary cap hit, a strategic move to maintain flexibility as the team develops its young core of talent.
Vatrano, the Ducks' leading scorer last season, emphasized his commitment to Anaheim's rebuild and desire to help the team compete for a Stanley Cup.
