Red Wings re-sign Callahan, Jensen
The Detroit Red Wings re-signed right wing Mitch Callahan to a one-year contract and agreed to terms with defenseman Nick Jensen on a two-year contract, the team announced Monday.
Callahan, Detroit's sixth-round pick (180th overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, missed the final two months of the 2014-15 season with a torn right ACL. He resumed skating at the Red Wings' development camp in Traverse City this month.
Callahan made his debut with the Wings during the 2013-14 season. He has appeared in 237 games with Detroit's minor-league affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, over the past four seasons, logging 111 points, 271 penalty minutes and a plus-20 rating.
The 6-foot, 195-lb., winger was also a member of the Griffins' 2013 Calder Cup championship team in 2013, notching 11 points in 24 postseason games.
Jensen, Detroit's fifth round pick (150th overall) in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, tripled his offensive output from his rookie AHL season in 2013-14 (nine points in 45 games) by registering 27 points in 75 games with the Griffins this season.
In accordance with club policy, additional details of the two contracts will not be disclosed.
