The Minnesota Wild signed goaltender Jesper Wallstedt to a two-year, $4.4 million contract extension. The deal gives their prized prospect some security while waiting in the wings behind veterans Marc-Andre Fleury and Filip Gustavsson. The 21-year-old Wallstedt made three starts for Minnesota last season and spent the rest of the time in the AHL.

The 21-year-old Wallstedt made three starts for Minnesota last season and spent the rest of the time in the AHL. He went 22-19-6 with a 2.70 goals against average and a .910 save percentage in 45 games for the Iowa Wild. Wallstedt was the team’s first-round draft pick in 2021 out of Vasteras, Sweden.

With Fleury and Gustavsson still in the fold, Wallstedt’s outlook for playing time this season is unclear. But the Wild have signaled an interest in carrying three goaltenders for the time being. Minnesota opens the season at home against Columbus on Thursday.
