Alex DeBrincat's long-term future in Detroit is now official.
The Detroit Red Wings have signed DeBrincat to a seven-year contract extension with an AAV of $13 million, the team announced on Wednesday.
DeBrincat had 41 goals and 44 assists in 82 games for the Red Wings in 2025-26, becoming only the fourth Red Wings player to score 40 goals in the salary cap era.
The Farmington Hills, Mich., native had two goals and an assist in Tuesday's overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils, giving him four goals and eight points over the first six games of Detroit's season. He is playing out the final year of a four-year deal with a $7.875-million AAV and has indicated he wanted to remain with his hometown team.
Currently in his 10th NHL season, the right-shot winger landed with Detroit in a trade with the Ottawa Senators in July 2023, which sent Dominik Kubalík, Donovan Sebrango, a 2024 first-round pick and a 2024 fourth-rounder the other way.
DeBrincat has played in 702 career games with Chicago, Ottawa and Detroit, racking up 298 goals and 603 points.
The 28-year-old was originally drafted in the second round of the 2016 draft by Chicago.
Tuesday's loss sent the 2026-27 Red Wings to 1-3-2 to open their campaign following an off-season of change.
