He also added 20 minutes in penalties. His possession numbers were 55.3 percent Corsi\u00a0and a relative Corsi of -0.2 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Over his five-year NHL career, Martinook has played for the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/coyotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Arizona Coyotes<\/a>\u00a0and Carolina Hurricanes. He has put up 36 goals and 42 assists for 78 career points in 297 career games. He was originally drafted in the second round, 58th overall of the 2012 NHL draft by the Phoenix Coyotes.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>The Hurricanes continue to look to keep the team young and extend the 26-year-old Martinook to a two-year extension. The Manitoba native was acquired by the Canes in the offseason in exchange for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/krugema01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marcus Kruger<\/a> and a third-round\u00a0pick in last year&#8217;s draft.\u00a0 So far this season Martinook has been a vital part of the Canes penalty kill which currently ranks 17th in the NHL at 79.9%. Martinook provides solid depth for the Canes and has him currently centering the second line with <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/f\/ferlami01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Micheal Ferland<\/a><\/strong> currently day to day with an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward the Canes can expect to continue to see Martinook playing on the second or third line wings. Since joining the team he is currently one goal away from tying a career his career high of 11 goals which was achieved during the 2016-17 season. Expect Martinook to continue to be a middle six forward for the Canes over the next three years in Raliegh.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"YnipgYbySmhNwdFp38YKlw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1079452174\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'YnipgYbySmhNwdFp38YKlw',sig:'w947oblharRdtsMHyxQekd9U6UXD5LhjbGCCrX8akLw=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1079452174',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Carolina Hurricanes have signed forward Jordan Martinook to a two-year contract extension worth $4 million with an AAV of $2 million.
