The New Jersey Devils extended the contract of head coach John Hynes earlier in the season, co-owner Josh Harris said, according to northjersey.com's Andrew Gross.
Hynes was in the final year of a three-year contract, but the Devils exercised a fourth-year option, according to All-Access Host Amanda Stein.
In three years as the head coach of the Devils, Hynes has put up a record of 97-98-30 in 225 games. The team currently sits in the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, looking to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2011-12 season.
