Capitals re-sign newly acquired Jensen to 4-year extension

The Washington Capitals re-signed defenseman Nick Jensen to a four-year, $10-million extension, the team announced.

The deal holds an average annual value of $2.5 million.

Jensen was traded to the Capitals earlier Friday from the Detroit Red Wings for defenseman Madison Bowey and a 2020 second-round pick.

The 28-year-old was a pending unrestricted free agent and is in the final year of a two-year deal worth $1.625 million.

He collected 17 points in 60 games with the Red Wings this season.
