Filip Gustavsson, goaltender

The Minnesota Wild have signed goaltender Filip Gustavsson to a five-year, $34 million contract extension that begins in the 2026-27 season.

Gustavsson, 27, will earn $6.8 million average annual value and his deal includes a full no-movement clause in the first two-years of the contract before shifting to a 15-team no-trade list in the remaining three years.

He started 58 games for Minnesota last season, posting a 31-19-6 record with a 2.56 goals-against average (GAA), a .914 save percentage (SV%) and five shutouts.

The native of Skelleftea, Sweden, scored the first goal of his hockey career, a powerplay goal at St. Louis, to become the first goaltender in franchise history to find the net.

For his career, Gustavsson has played in 169 games (161 starts) with an 83-59-20 record, a 2.67 GAA, a .913 SV% and 11 shutouts across five seasons with Minnesota (2022-25) and the Ottawa Senators (2020-22).

Gustavsson was originally selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round (55th overall) of the 2016 NHL Draft. Minnesota acquired Gustavsson from Ottawa in exchange for goaltender Cam Talbot on July 12, 2022.
