Detroit locks in Chiarot with three-year extension to bolster its blue line
The Detroit Red Wings signed defenseman Ben Chiarot to a three-year extension averaging $3.85 million per season, keeping the 34-year-old veteran in Detroit through 2028-29. Chiarot has been a top-four staple, logging about 20:39 of ice time per game and producing 63 points in 288 games for Detroit, and the move secures blue-line stability as the team evaluates future top-four needs and aging considerations.
