"Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle got the long-term job security the club felt he rightfully deserved on Monday by signing a new three-year contract that will take him through the 2013-14 NHL season. Carlyle was under contract for the coming season, but that is now included in his three-year pact.

"Randy has been invaluable to this club over the last six years," Ducks Executive Vice President and General Manager Bob Murray said in a statement. "He has been a true leader through thick and thin, and we are very pleased to be able to reward him with this well-deserved contract."

Carlyle, who is entering his seventh season as the Ducks' coach, has reached the playoffs in five of his first six seasons, winning the Stanley Cup and Pacific Division regular-season title in 2007. Only Mike Babcock has won more postseason games than Carlyle (55-36) over the past six seasons. "
