"We are very pleased to sign Dysin to a new three-year contract," said Armstrong. "Dysin has worked extremely hard on and off the ice and has established himself as a reliable NHL defenseman. We look forward to having him on our blue line for years to come."

The 25-year-old Mayo has recorded 3-3-6 with eight penalty minutes (PIM) in 42 games with the Coyotes this season. He made his NHL debut and scored his first career NHL goal on Oct. 21 vs. the Edmonton Oilers. Mayo became the eighth defenseman in franchise history to score in his NHL debut.

Mayo ranks second among NHL rookies in TOI/G and blocked shots, trailing only Detroit's Moritz Seider.
