Stankoven signed an eight-year, $48 million contract extension with the Hurricanes on Tuesday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Stankoven has one year left on his entry-level contract, so his new deal will begin in 2026-27. The 22-year-old was acquired by Carolina in the Mikko Rantanen trade in March, and Stankoven will now be tied to the Hurricanes long term. The right-shot forward will likely get middle-six minutes with a chance to move into a larger role depending on his play, and he'll certainly be a factor with the man advantage. He had only nine points in 19 regular-season games after being dealt, but Stankoven looked more comfortable in the postseason, contributing five goals, eight points and 18 hits over 15 outings.
Stankoven scored the game-winning goal Monday in the Hurricanes' 3-0 victory over the Panthers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The 22-year-old was the only skater to get a puck past a goalie on the night, as Stankoven burst into the Florida zone off the wing midway through the second period and went top shelf over Sergei Bobrovsky's shoulder. Carolina's final two tallies were scored into an empty net in the third period, while Frederik Andersen dazzled with his fifth career playoff shutout. Stankoven has lit the lamp in back-to-back games, and through 14 postseason games for the 'Canes, he's produced five goals and eight points.

Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven: Third goal of postseason
Rotowire
Stankoven scored a goal Tuesday in a 2-1 overtime win over Washington in Game 1.
Stankoven beat Logan Thompson with a glove-side wrister from the slot at 9:42 of the third to tie the game and ultimately force overtime. The goal was his third this postseason in six games -- not bad for a 22-year-old who put up eight points, including three goals, in 19 games with Dallas last season. Stankoven appears to be a natural fit in Raleigh, skating with Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Taylor Hall on the team's second line.
Stankoven scored an empty-net goal on five shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.
Stankoven has scored in back-to-back games, though his tally Saturday was a bit of a freebie as the Rangers clung desperately to their last moments in the playoff race. The 22-year-old has four goals over his last seven contests, and he's up to 14 tallies, 23 assists, 191 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-3 rating over 75 appearances between the Hurricanes and the Stars this season.

Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven: Tallies first helper with Carolina
Rotowire
Stankoven tallied an assist and registered three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-0 victory over Philadelphia.
Stankoven's first assist with the Canes led the way for another first to occur -- Scott Morrow's first career NHL goal. The 22-year-old Stankoven now has 21 assists, 31 points and 157 shots on goal in 63 appearances this season. He has two points since beginning his tenure with Carolina. Stankoven has slotted into the Canes' third line and second power-play unit. With his upgraded role and ability to get shots on goal, Stankoven has some value in deeper leagues and is a name to keep an eye on ahead of the fantasy playoffs.

Stars' Logan Stankoven: Helps out on power play
Rotowire
Stankoven provided a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Stankoven is warming up a little with two assists over his last three contests. The 21-year-old has had no luck with finishing lately -- he's on a 25-game goal drought and has come up empty on 65 shots in that span while adding just six helpers. The talented rookie has 20 points, 111 shots on net, 25 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 40 appearances. He'll likely remain in a third-line role, as the Stars have found some success with a more veteran top six in recent weeks.

Stars' Logan Stankoven: Registers assist Thursday
Rotowire
Stankoven provided an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
Stankoven has been limited to four assists over 17 contests since the start of December. The 21-year-old has somewhat gotten lost in the shuffle, as the Stars' top six started to click in January with Stankoven filling a third-line role. He has 19 points, 103 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-1 rating over 38 appearances. It's part of the price of being a rookie on a contending team -- Stankoven will play in whatever spot most benefits the team's results even if it's not ideal for his individual production.

Stars' Logan Stankoven: Records helper in loss
Rotowire
Stankoven logged an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.
Stankoven has received a chance to join Matt Duchene and Mason Marchment on the second line following the news that Tyler Seguin (hip) will be out for at least four months. Stankoven's helper came on a Marchment goal in the first period. Stankoven has just two assists over his last eight outings, putting him at 16 points, 63 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-3 rating through 23 appearances. He's talented enough to handle top-six minutes, but that second-line spot will likely come down to whichever forward has the most chemistry with the established members of the line.

Rotowire
Stankoven logged an assist and a game-high five shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.

While he began the season on the first line, Stankoven was down to a third-line role for the second game in a row Tuesday, though he saw his most ice time in any game (17:51) in this contest, as the Stars tend to balance the usage across the top-nine forwards.

Stars' Logan Stankoven: Tallies twice in Game 3
Rotowire
Stankoven scored a pair of goals, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Predictably, adjusting to the playoffs has been tougher for the 21-year-old rookie than it was when he came up for the last quarter of the regular season. Stankoven is up to four points, 22 shots on net, 15 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 10 playoff contests. He's seen some even-strength time on the first line, but his usage overall is more limited than that role would suggest, as head coach Pete DeBoer is likely trying to shelter Stankoven, especially on the road.
