Washington Capitals defenseman Martin Fehervary signed a seven-year, $42 million contract extension on Tuesday.

The extension begins with the 2026-27 season for Fehervary, who will make $2.675 million in the upcoming campaign to complete his existing three-year deal.

"Martin possesses all the core qualities of a Washington Capital," team general manager Chris Patrick said. "His skating ability, conditioning and tireless competitiveness, combined with a team first attitude and relentless drive to excel, make him a vital part of our blue line. Signing him to a long-term contract at just 25 years old is an exciting step for the future of our organization."

Fehervary recorded career-high totals in assists (20), points (25) and games (81) this past season.

He has 75 points (22 goals, 53 assists) in 299 career games since being selected by Washington in the second round of the 2018 NHL Draft.
