(670 The Score) The Blackhawks have signed defenseman Riley Stillman to a three-year contract extension, they announced Sunday morning.
Stillman, 23, is now under contract through the 2023-'24 season with a $1.35 million salary cap hit annually. The Blackhawks acquired Stillman in a trade with the Florida Panthers on April 8.
"Having a young, physical defenseman like Riley in the fold is exciting for the future of our team," president of hockey operations Stan Bowman said in a statement. "He is growing into an excellent all-around defenseman and that continued development is something we look forward to seeing firsthand. We love his size, and his toughness adds another piece to our defense."
Stillman has appeared in six games for Chicago, recording 16 hits and eight blocked shots. The Panthers selected him in the fourth round of the 2016 draft. He has five points (zero goals, five assists) in 43 career NHL games.
