The Red Wings locked up one of their young defensive pieces on Friday.
The team announced it signed defenseman Filip Hronek, who was a restricted free agent, to a three-year contract. Terms were not disclosed.
Hronek, 23, played in all 56 games last season and tallied a team-best 26 points. He also led Detroit in assists (24), power-play points (11) and average ice time (23:23), which was roughly three minutes more than the next highest position player, center Dylan Larkin (20:24).
Hronek, a 2016 second-round pick who made his NHL debut in 2018, leads all Red Wings defensemen with 80 points (16 goals, 64 assists) over the past three seasons.
