St. Paul, MN - The Minnesota Wild signed defenseman Nick Schultz to a one-year deal on Monday, three days before a scheduled arbitration hearing.
Schultz, 24, has played all five of his NHL seasons with Minnesota. He was the club's second round pick in the 2000 draft.
In 367 career games, he has 17 goals and 45 assists with a plus-25 rating.
'Nick's continued improvement and durability make him the consummate team player,' general manager Doug Risebrough said in a statement. 'He's established himself as an important presence on our blue line, and we're very happy that we could reach a contract agreement.'
He ranks third on the Wild's all-time list in games played and career plus/minus.
