DETROIT (AP) - Red Wings forward Johan Franzen signed a three-year contract Friday after a rookie season in which he scored 12 goals.
The 26-year-old Swede would have been an unrestricted free agent after the 2007-08 season. He made his NHL debut in 2005-06 and led Detroit rookies in games (80), points (16) and goals.
"Johan had a very good rookie season in the NHL," general manager Ken Holland said. "He was a big part of our penalty killing, provided us with a physical presence and played very well in the playoffs.
