CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — The Calgary Flames have signed head coach Darryl Sutter to a multiyear contract extension, the team announced Saturday.

The reigning Jack Adams Award winner led the team to a 50-21-11 season and a Pacific Division title last year. The Flames fell in the second round of the postseason.

The 64-year-old has a 65-36-11 overall record since being hired in March 2021.

Sutter coached the team to its last Stanley Cup final appearance in the 2003-2004 season and won two titles as head coach of the Los Angeles Kings in 2011-2012 and 2013-2014.

He has the 11th-most wins among head coaches in NHL history with 699.
