SUNRISE -- Florida Panthers General Manager & Head Coach Jacques Martin announced today that the club has agreed to terms on a five-year contract extension with D Bryan Allen.

"Bryan proved to be one of our top four defensemen last year and he will continue to play a vital role in our team's future success," said Martin. "He is a very talented and physical player with a tremendous work ethic, who is an asset to our organization both on and off the ice. With the signing of Allen, we now have assembled a core nucleus of defensemen for next season that includes Jay Bouwmeester, Ruslan Salei and Mike Van Ryn."

Allen, 26, completed his first season with the Panthers last year setting career highs in assists (21) and points (25). He was one of just six Panthers to appear in all 82 games last season, while also recording a career-high four-game point streak from Feb. 17-24. He notched three goals and 11 assists with a +10 rating over his last 30 games played during the 2006-07 campaign.
