The TK-O-Train won't be leaving town anytime soon.

The Senators announced on Monday that defenceman Tyler Kleven has signed a two-year contract extension. It carries a $1.6 million average annual value through the 2026-27 season. The 23-year-old became a full-time NHL player this season, appearing in 79 regular season games and all six of Ottawa’s playoff matchups.

"Tyler’s game elevated as our season progressed,” president of hockey operations and general manager Steve Staios in a team release. “He proved to be a reliable defenceman for us during the playoffs and we expect his game will continue to mature and develop.”

Kleven was scheduled to become an RFA on July 1st. He's the second RFA defenceman that Staios has signed this off-season. He inked Nik Matinpalo to a two-year, one-way contract extension worth $875,000 a season.
