SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Kraken signed forward John Hayden to a two-year, one-way contract extension Wednesday.
The 30-year-old Hayden had a goal and an assist in 20 games for the Kraken last season. He also had 11 goals and 16 assists in 44 regular-season games for Coachella Valley in the American Hockey League, and added two goals and an assist for the Firebirds in six playoff games.
