The Minnesota Wild and defenseman Alex Goligoski have agreed to a two-year extension carrying an average annual value of $2 million, the team announced Wednesday.

Goligoski signed a one-year, $5-million contract with the Wild as an unrestricted free agent this past offseason.

The 36-year-old veteran has tallied two goals and 26 assists in 58 games this campaign while averaging 19 minutes per contest. He's also posted sterling underlying numbers - specifically on the offensive end:

The Goligoski signing leaves the Wild with about $8 million in projected cap space for 2022-23, according to CapFriendly. They have two notable restricted free agents in sniper Kevin Fiala and deadline acquisition Jake Middleton. Fellow deadline pickup Marc-Andre Fleury is the only major pending UFA left.
