The Lightning has signed coach Jon Cooper to a "multi-year" contract extension, the team announced this morning.
Cooper was in the final year of his current contract, with talks on a new deal seeming to heat up earlier this season. The extension is believed to be two years.
Cooper has a 112-70-23 record and .602 winning percentage since taking over as Lightning coach near the end of the 2012-13 season. He was a Jack Adams Award finalist for the league's top head coach in 2014, and led the Lightning to the Stanley Cup Final last season.
