The Anaheim Ducks announced today that the National Hockey League club has signed left wing Chris Kunitz to a four-year contract extension (beginning in 2008-2009). Per club policy, financial terms were not disclosed. ?Chris has been a very important multi-dimensional player for us the last two seasons, providing skill, physical play and leadership,? said Ducks Executive Vice President/General Manager Brian Burke. ?We are very pleased to have him signed prior to his eligibility as an unrestricted free agent next summer.? Kunitz, 27, (9/26/79), played in 81 regular season games last season, scoring 25-35=60 points with 81 penalty minutes and a +23 rating. The Regina, Saskatchewan native added 1-5=6 points in 13 playoff games (missed eight games due to injury), helping Anaheim win the Stanley Cup. Over the last two regular seasons, Kunitz has scored 44-57=101 points with 150 penalty minutes and a +42 rating. He and Teemu Selanne were the only two NHL forwards last season with 25-plus goals, 80-plus penalty minutes and a +20-or-better rating.
