The San Jose Sharks have re-signed forward Chris Tierney to a two-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Tierney set career-highs in nearly every major statistical category during the 2017-18 season, registering 17 goals and 23 assists while suiting up in all 82 games.
The 24-year-old was nominated for the 2018 King Clancy Trophy, awarded to “the National Hockey League player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and who has made a significant humanitarian contribution to his community.”
“Chris had his best season as a professional last year and stepped up his level of play in multiple areas,” said Sharks general manager Doug Wilson. “We’ve always known he was a responsible, defensive-minded player, but he took his offensive game to the next tier and showed that he can be a productive player in all three zones. We look forward to watching him continue his evolution in 2018-19.”
