"The Carolina Hurricanes have locked up Tim Gleason, inking the defenceman to a 3-year, $11.5 million extension.
In 51 games this season, the 29-year-old has recorded 14 points and leads all Hurricanes blueliners with a +2 rating.
With the new deal, Gleason joins Carolina teammates goaltender Cam Ward and centre Eric Staal whose contracts run until the end of the 2015-16 season."
