SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Utah Mammoth have re-signed Jack McBain to a five-year contract worth US$21.25 million.

McBain will count $4.25 million against the salary cap through the 2029-30 NHL season on the deal announced Monday, a little over 24 hours since the team elected salary arbitration with the restricted free-agent forward.

“He is a big, strong, physical player who competes hard on a nightly basis and brings a gritty toughness to our group,” general manager Bill Armstrong said. “Jack is an important part of the championship-calibre team we are building, and we look forward to having him back on our roster for the foreseeable future.”

McBain, 25, is coming off setting a career high with 27 points and playing all 82 games. He was one of six players to skate in every game of the organization’s first season in Salt Lake City.

“Jack’s versatility as a player, his care for his teammates and his demonstrated willingness to do whatever it takes to win, are all critical elements to our future team success,” president of hockey operations Chris Armstrong said.
