The Calgary Flames have signed head coach Darryl Sutter to a multi-year contract extension, the team announced Saturday.
Sutter led the Flames to a Pacific Division title and a playoff berth in his first full year back in Calgary last season, winning the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's top head coach.
The 64-year-old began his second stint behind the Flames' bench during the 2020-21 season, replacing Geoff Ward 24 games into the campaign after inking a three-year deal with the team.
Calgary is 65-36-11 since Sutter took over. The team's .677 points percentage in 2021-22 was second-best in franchise history as it earned just its third 50-win campaign.
The Flames begin the 2022-23 regular season Thursday against the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche.
