Hungarian goaltender Adam Vay has been turning heads at the IIHF World Championships over the last few days, making save after save in losses to the United States and Finland.

The Minnesota Wild have noticed, signing the 6-foot-5, 210-pound goaltender to a two-year, entry level contract.

Vay made 35 saves in a 5-1 loss to the U.S. after making 48 saves in a 3-0 loss to Finland for hopelessly overmatched Hungary.
