SAINT PAUL, Minn. \u2014 The Minnesota Wild announced a five-year, $34 million contract extension for goalie Filip Gustavsson on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Gustavsson\u2019s extension begins in the 2026-27 season and goes through 2030-31. It\u2019s the team\u2019s latest move after signing star Kirill Kaprizov to the richest deal in NHL history<\/a> earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old from Sweden started all 58 games he appeared in for Minnesota last season, posting a 31-19-6 record with five shutouts and a 2.56 goals-against average.<\/p>\n

Minnesota acquired Gustavsson in a trade with the Ottawa Senators for goalie Cam Talbot in July 2022. He was expected to sit behind Marc-Andr\u00e9 Fleury and learn from the veteran the following season, but quickly proved to the franchise and fans<\/a> he was more than a backup.<\/p>\n

The Wild locked Gustavsson into a three-year, $11.25 million contract<\/a> after his 2023 standout season in which he went 22-9-7 with a 2.10 goals-against average.<\/p>\n

Gustavsson was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round in 2016. He was shipped to Ottawa<\/a> in 2018 as part of a three-team trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAINT PAUL, Minn. \u2014 The Minnesota Wild announced a five-year, $34 million contract extension for goalie Filip Gustavsson…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":225074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5104],"tags":[274,6675,4769,535,5,537,1326,11289,1043,38,13257,4,72,25,5157,100,73,8175,413,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-225073","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ottawa-senators","8":"tag-2025-stanley-cup-playoffs","9":"tag-cam-talbot","10":"tag-contract-extension","11":"tag-filip-gustavsson","12":"tag-hockey","13":"tag-kirill-kaprizov","14":"tag-las-vegas","15":"tag-mandatory-credit","16":"tag-marc-andre-fleury","17":"tag-minnesota-wild","18":"tag-nevada","19":"tag-nhl","20":"tag-ottawa","21":"tag-ottawa-senators","22":"tag-ottawasenators","23":"tag-pittsburgh-penguins","24":"tag-senators","25":"tag-stephen-r-sylvanie-imagn","26":"tag-usa","27":"tag-vegas-golden-knights"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115319097902816861","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
