The Minnesota Wild made multiple moves on Wednesday, including the signing of goalie Stephen Michalek to a two-year, entry-level contract.
The Wild also signed forward Zac Dalpe, Ruslan Fedotenko and Marc Hagel.
Michalek, 21, went 21-13-13 with a .924 save percentage for Harvard in 2014-15. The 6-foot-3, 197-pound native of Hartford, Conn., helped lead Harvard to an ECAC title and a spot in the NCAA tournament. He went 33-28-13 with a 2.59 goals-against average in three seasons with Harvard.
