Apr 29, 2025; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; Minnesota Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson (32) makes a save against the Vegas Golden Knights during the second period of game five of the first round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images The Minnesota Wild signed goalkeeper Filip Gustavsson to a five-year, $34 million contract extension on Saturday morning.
Gustavsson, 27, was entering the final year of a contract that was paying him $3.75 million annually. Now, he's set to make nearly double that, an average of $6.8 million over the next five seasons.
The Swedish netminder is coming off his fifth NHL season which was the best of his career. He started a career-high 58 games, establishing himself as the Wild's prominent goaltender over Marc-Andre Fleury, who retired this offseason.
With a 31-19-6 record, a .914 save percentage and 2.56 goals-against average, Gustavsson finished sixth in voting for the Vezina Trophy.
This is the second significant extension the Wild have given out this week. They signed star winger Kirill Kaprizov to the largest contract in NHL history (eight years, $136 million) on Tuesday.
