WILD SIGN BACKSTROM TO 4-YEAR, $24 MILLION CONTRACT EXTENSION

http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=269561&lid=headline&lpos=secStory_nhl

The Minnesota Wild have locked up a big piece of their franchise as they have signed goaltender Niklas Backstrom to a four-year contract extension.

The deal is worth $6 million per season and ends all speculation that the Finnish netminder would be on the move at the NHL's Trade Deadline on Wednesday.

In three seasons with the Wild, Backstrom sports a 84-39-18 record with a 2.19 goals against average and .924 save percentage.

He was awarded the Roger Crozier Saving Grace Award (Best save percentage) and the William M. Jennings Trophy (Lowest goals-against) in the 2006-07 season.

Backstrom was a member of Finland's silver medal team at the 2006 Winter Olympics and Finland's bronze medal team at the 2006 IIHF World Hockey Championships, but did not see action in either tournament. He appeared in five games with Finland at the 2005 and 2008 IIHF World Hockey Championships.
