The Minnesota Wild signed goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury to a one-year, $2.5 million extension for next season.
The team announced the deal Wednesday, one day before its season finale against the visiting Seattle Kraken.
Fleury is 17-14-5 with two shutouts, a 2.98 goals-against average and an .895 save percentage in 39 games (35 starts) this season, his 20th in the NHL.
He is 561-329-96 with 75 shutouts, a 2.60 GAA and .912 save percentage in 1,024 games (863 starts) with the Pittsburgh Penguins (2003-17), Vegas Golden Knights (2017-21), Chicago Blackhawks (2021-22) and Wild (2022-24).
Fleury, who turns 40 in November, won three Stanley Cup championships with Pittsburgh (2009, 2016, 2017) and earned the 2020-21 Vezina Trophy with Vegas.
The Penguins drafted the Quebec native with the No. 1 overall pick in 2003.
