The Los Angeles Kings have agreed to a deal with defenseman Alec Martinez to a six-year $24-million deal.

The Los Angeles Times reports:

“Martinez, 27, has played an important role in each of the Kings’ Stanley Cup wins, and has appeared in 221 career games with the franchise. He has tallied 25 goals and 62 points since making his Kings debut during the 2009-10 season.

Selected in the fourth round of the 2007 NHL draft, Martinez’s most notable moment with the Kings came when he scored the series-clinching goal against the New York Rangers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in June. He also scored the winning goal in Game 7 of the 2014 Western Conference finals against the Chicago Blackhawks.”

Alec Martinez was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. There is now a list of players who will be under contract with the Kings for a while. Drew Doughty is signed through the 2018-19 and Jake Muzzin is under contract through 2019-20. Dustin Brown, Jonathan Quick, Jeff Carter and Marian Gaborik each are under deals that stretch beyond 2020.
