Carolina Hurricanes forward Jackson Blake has signed an eight-year, $45 million contract extension with the team.

The deal, announced late Thursday night, will begin in the 2026-27 season.

Blake, who will turn 22 on Aug. 3, will play the final season of his entry-level deal in 2025-26. He could have become a restricted free agent after the upcoming season.

The son of former NHL forward Jason Blake made his NHL debut against the Columbus Blue Jackets on April 16, 2024. He followed his lone game of that season by recording 34 points (17 goals, 17 assists) in 80 games last season with Carolina.

'Jackson had an outstanding rookie season, and we think he is just scratching the surface of the player he can be,' Hurricanes general manager Eric Tulsky said in a news release. 'His tenaciousness on the puck and competitiveness match our team's culture, and we're excited about his future with our club.'

Jackson Blake was selected by Carolina in the fourth round of the 2021 NHL Draft.
