The Minnesota Wild signed forward Mats Zuccarello to a two-year contract extension with an average annual value of $4.125 million, the team announced Friday.

Zuccarello, 36, had one year left on a contract signed in 2019 that carries a $6-million cap hit. He'll be 38 years old at the expiration of his new deal.

The contract has a no-move clause in both years, according to the Star Tribune's Sarah McLellan.

The Norwegian tallied 22 goals and 67 points in 78 games last season to rank second on the Wild in scoring. Zuccarello's 20:12 average time on ice was the highest mark of his 13-year career.

Since joining the Wild in 2019, Zuccarello has accumulated 72 goals and 218 points in 255 contests with Minnesota. He leads the team in assists with 146 over this span.

Zuccarello has had a career resurgence since the arrival of Kirill Kaprizov in 2020-21. After scoring just 37 points in 65 games the previous season, Zuccarello has recorded 181 points in 190 contests since Kaprizov joined the Wild.

The duo has played over 2,200 minutes at five-on-five in three seasons, in which Minnesota's outscored the opposition 119-86 with Kaprizov and Zuccarello on the ice, per Natural Stat Trick.

The Wild have $67 million in cap commitments for the 2024-25 season after the signing, according to CapFriendly.
