The Minnesota Wild have signed goaltender Jesper Wallstedt to a two-year contract extension worth $4.4 million, starting from the 2025-26 season.
Currently 21 years old, Wallstedt will fulfill his existing contract before the new one takes effect. During his NHL debut last season, he participated in three games, achieving two victories and one defeat, with a save percentage of .897 and a goals-against average of 3.01.
Wallstedt made history as the youngest goaltender to debut for the Wild when he faced the Dallas Stars in January 2024. His first victory and shutout were secured in April 2024 against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Hailing from Sweden, Wallstedt was selected by the Wild in the first round as the 20th overall pick in the 2021 NHL draft.
