The Edmonton Oilers signed coach Kris Knoblauch to a three-year contract extension through 2028-29 on Friday.
Knoblauch, 47, guided the Oilers to the Stanley Cup Final in each of his first two seasons behind their bench, falling to the Florida Panthers in six games last season and in seven games in 2024.
He has compiled a 94-47-10 record in the regular season since replacing Jay Woodcroft on Nov. 13, 2023.
Knoblauch reached 80 wins in his 123rd game on Feb. 5, 2025, third-fastest in NHL history after Tom Johnson (111) and Mike Keenan (116).
The Oilers open the 2025-26 regular season at home against the rival Calgary Flames on Wednesday.
