Anze Kopitar, who has spent 17 seasons with the Los Angeles Kings, is ready for three more.

The 35-year-old veteran signed a two-year, $14 million contract extension that will lock him in with Los Angeles through the 2025-26 season, the Kings announced Thursday.

Kopitar, who helped lead the franchise to Stanley Cup wins in 2012 and 2014, has served as the team's captain since 2016.

He led the Kings last season with 74 points, joining Hall of Famer Gordie Howe as the only players in NHL history to lead the same team in scoring at least 15 times.
