The Utah Mammoth have locked in their first-line center for another eight seasons.
Nick Schmaltz has agreed to an eight-year, $64 million contract, the team announced Wednesday.
Schmaltz was previously set to hit unrestricted free agency this summer. He is now set to remain in Salt Lake City through his age-37 season in 2033-34.
Schmaltz joined the Arizona Coyotes early in the 2018-19 season, then followed the franchise to Utah for its inaugural campaign in 2024-25.
He is on pace for a career-best season after posting 59 points (24 goals, 35 assists) in 65 games.
