The Minnesota Wild signed goalie Marc-Andre Fleury to a one-year, $2.5 million contract extension Wednesday, bringing back the veteran for his age-40 season.

Fleury, who turns 40 on Nov. 28, has had a prolific season in which he passed Patrick Roy for second place behind Martin Brodeur on the NHL 's all-time list in career goaltending wins. Brodeur (691) is still 130 ahead of Fleury.

Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman was suspended for three games for throwing his stick toward officials after Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the visiting Vegas Golden Knights.

The NHL's Department of Player Safety revealed the ruling Monday after a phone hearing with Hartman to discuss his unsportsmanlike conduct.

Pat Maroon practiced with the Boston Bruins on Monday for the first time since he was acquired from the Minnesota Wild on March 8 prior to the NHL Trade Deadline.

The 35-year-old forward is week to week while recovering from back surgery Feb. 6. He was skating separately before Monday.

Marc-Andre Fleury still has that passion, the fire still burning inside, to borrow his expression. And that fire is not likely to be extinguished by the end of this season.

Inside a small office at TRIA Rink, the Minnesota Wild practice facility, Fleury spoke at length about his future and his long NHL career in an interview with NHL.com/fr. There was one major point that stood out during the half-hour long conversation: he's not planning on hanging up his mask.

"The door is more open today for a return than it was in September or October," Fleury said this week.

The Boston Bruins have acquired Pat Maroon from the Minnesota Wild for Luke Toporowski and a conditional 2026 sixth-round draft pick.

Maroon underwent back surgery a month ago and was scheduled to be out four to six weeks.

The Colorado Avalanche have acquired forward Brandon Duhaime from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for a 2026 third-round draft pick.

The Avalanche also acquired forward Yakov Trenin in a trade with the Nashville Predators in exchange for defenseman Jeremy Hanzel and a 2025 third-round draft pick.

The Minnesota Wild have signed Zach Bogosian to a two-year, $2.5 million extension.

Bogosian, 33, has one goal, eight assists and a plus-3 rating through 43 games with Minnesota this season.

Bogosian won a Stanley Cup with the Lightning in 2020 and has 222 points (58 goals, 164 assists) in 830 career games.
