Lightning sign Ryan McDonagh to a 3-year, $12.3M contract extension

The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed veteran defenseman Ryan McDonagh to a three-year extension worth $12.3 million

DECEMBER 4 • Associated Press

Re-ups with Bolts McDonagh (undisclosed) agreed to terms on a three-year, $12.3 million contract extension with Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Impact McDonagh -- who is currently on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury -- is on his second stint with the Lightning, having spent five seasons with the organization from 2017-2022. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran blueliner was chipping in well offensively with three goals and three helpers in 15 appearances. While McDonagh won't be much of a factor with the man advantage, he should still be capable of pushing for the 30-point threshold -- assuming he gets back into the lineup sooner rather than later.

Moves to IR McDonagh (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Impact After being injured in Saturday's 3-2 win over Washington, McDonagh will miss the next few games. He hasn't been practicing, and it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has recorded three goals, six points, 15 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and eight hits through 15 appearances this season. McDonagh's move to the IR list frees up a roster spot for the Lightning to recall a blueliner ahead of Wednesday's contest versus the Rangers.

Set to miss time McDonagh (undisclosed) will miss at least a few games, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports Tuesday.

Impact McDonagh probably won't be an option for Tampa Bay's next three games, starting with Wednesday's matchup against the Rangers. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. McDonagh isn't quite day-to-day yet, though head coach Jon Cooper said after Tuesday's practice that the 36-year-old defenseman could be at that stage soon. Victor Hedman (undisclosed) and Max Crozier (undisclosed) are also dealing with injuries, making it unclear who will replace McDonagh in Wednesday's lineup.

Leaves Saturday's game McDonagh (undisclosed) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Capitals.

Impact McDonagh sustained an injury and didn't take the ice after the first intermission. The 36-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day for now. He'll have some extra time to heal up, as the Lightning don't play until Wednesday's home game versus the Rangers.

Donato scores 2 more goals as the Blackhawks beat the Lightning 3-2

Ryan Donato scored two more goals to help the Chicago Blackhawks beat the slumping Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2

OCTOBER 24 • Associated Press

Five points in first seven games McDonagh scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 loss to Chicago on Thursday.

Impact McDonagh has three points, including two goals, in his last two games, and he has put up five points (three goals, two assists) in seven games this season. The 36-year-old defender isn't a really an offensive force, even if he does have three 40-plus point seasons under his belt. McDonagh's last big season was 2018-19. This run won't last, but take advantage while it does.

Three points in last five games McDonagh scored a goal in a 3-2 loss to Columbus on Saturday.

Impact McDonagh fired a wrist shot from the top of the left circle that deflected off Jet Greaves' glove and the crossbar and went in. The goal tied the game 1-1 at 12:42 of the first. McDonagh has delivered three points, including two goals, in his last five games. His best offensive seasons are behind him, but the veteran defender can deliver a third consecutive 30-plus point campaign with a strong plus-minus and as many as 150 blocks.

Two assists in Saturday's win McDonagh posted two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 3.

Impact McDonagh has three helpers, five shots on net, five hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over three playoff contests. He had a hand in goals by Nick Paul and Jake Guentzel in this contest. McDonagh's top-four role isn't in question, and he's been providing well-rounded numbers with a bit of offense and plenty of defensive work over the last two months.
