Brenden Dillon (born November 13, 1990) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player currently playing for the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League (NHL). Dillon has previously played in the NHL for the Dallas Stars and San Jose Sharks.
Playing career
On March 1, 2011, as an NHL free agent, Dillon signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Dallas Stars.[1]
Undrafted, and prior to turning professional, Dillon played four seasons of major junior ice hockey in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Seattle Thunderbirds. During the 2012–13 season, on February 1, 2013, Dillon registered his first career Gordie Howe hat-trick. During that game, he also registered his first career goal in a 4–3 shootout win against the Phoenix Coyotes.
Dillon was selected to play for Canada in the 2013 IIHF World Championship. It was Dillon's first international appearance, as he scored one goal in eight games. Canada would lose in the quarterfinal to the eventual tournament champions Sweden 2–1 in a shootout.
On November 21, 2014, Dillon was traded to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defenceman Jason Demers and a third-round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.[2]
On June 29, 2015, Dillon signed a five-year, $16.35 million contract extension with San Jose worth an average annual value of $3.27 million per season through to the end of the 2019–20 season.[3]
On December 5, 2017, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced that Dillon was suspended one game for slashing Washington Capitals Madison Bowey.[4]
During the 2019–20 season, with the Sharks out of playoff contention and playing in the final season of his contract, Dillon was traded to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a 2020 second-round pick and a 2021 conditional third-round pick on February 18, 2020.[5]
